Hey it's Sara is a small, owner-run studio. We bring craft and technology together: everything we design should look good, work well and spark joy.
3D print designs
We design print-ready models with great attention to detail and publish them on MakerWorld: to download, print and remix.
Apps & software
Our own ideas turn into apps for sourdough fans, cupcake lovers and creators. Built to collect as little data as possible, with no fuss.
Community
On Patreon we take you behind the scenes. Every bit of support helps us work independently on new projects.
Where to find us
Print, follow, support.
Our designs live on MakerWorld, our community on Patreon. Come and say hi, we would love to see you there!

Our 3D models on MakerWorld
You can find all of our 3D print designs on MakerWorld. Download the models, print them and show us your results. We appreciate every make, every boost and every bit of feedback.
Each of our apps starts with an idea from our own everyday life. The result: thoughtful tools without tracking or ads that need as little data as possible.

About us
Small, independent and obsessed with details.
Hey it's Sara is a small sole proprietorship with a big passion for design. We sketch, model, print and code, and we keep iterating until a product feels just right.
Our style reflects how we work: clean lines, soft colours and a pinch of playfulness. Whether it is a 3D model or an app, everything should be easy to understand and fun to use.
Attention to detail
We keep refining until form and function fit together.
Privacy first
No trackers, no ads: our apps only store what they really need.
Made from experience
We build what we need ourselves and test it in our own daily lives.
