She guides clients through every stage of a project—from discovery and strategy to creative development, production, and execution—making what can often feel like a complex process straightforward, organized, and enjoyable. Her ability to understand the big picture while keeping an eye on the details helps ensure projects stay on track and, most importantly, that clients feel heard, informed, and supported along the way.

Before joining Clear Mind Graphics, Laurie spent a decade as Associate Publisher and National Advertising Director for Sun Valley Magazine, where she developed extensive experience working with businesses, organizations, and national brands. She has also managed sales accounts for Jackson Hole Magazine, Park City Magazine, Aspen Sojourner, and Idaho Golf Magazine. Her broader professional experience includes serving as Asian Affairs Coordinator for Maruha Nichiro Holdings and as a National Sales Executive for Pentair and Hitachi Koki USA.

Laurie holds a B.S. in Advertising and Business Marketing from the University of Idaho. An Idahoan for more than 35 years, she lives in Hailey with her husband, Matt, their kitty Ollie, and dogs Reece and May.

Sarah Murphy is the creative force behind Clear Mind Graphics, leading the firm’s branding, visual identity, website design, and creative development. With a unique ability to blend thoughtful design with smart technology, Sarah ensures that every project is not only visually compelling but also functional, intuitive, and built to perform.

From developing distinctive brands to designing and managing complex website projects, Sarah brings both creativity and technical expertise to every project. She has a keen eye for the details that elevate a design, while always keeping the larger strategy, user experience, and functionality in focus.

Sarah began her career as the publication designer for Sun Valley Magazine, where she met her future business partners and developed a deep appreciation for the power of strong visual storytelling. She later moved to Cincinnati to work with Justice & Young Advertising Agency, where she contributed to award-winning advertising campaigns and gained valuable experience working in a fast-paced agency environment.

Recognizing the importance of strong client relationships, thoughtful strategy, exceptional design, and the ability to deliver on tight deadlines, Sarah returned to the Wood River Valley and founded Clear Mind Graphics. More than 23 years later, she continues to help businesses and organizations build brands and digital experiences that are authentic, effective, and built to last.
