Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Ivey.
Hi Sarah, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been a professional web designer for six years! But in 2022, I made a bold move and pivoted my business to cater primarily to spiritual entrepreneurs, including intuitive & spiritual coaches, product makers, service providers, and educators. The name of my boutique design agency is Stardust & Pixel. The fusion of “Stardust” and “Pixel” in our brand name signifies the harmonious balance between creativity and practicality. We believe that every business, like the stars in the night sky, has a unique path to follow. I’m absolutely thrilled about the relaunch of this new business model! Connecting with like-minded business owners and using my skills to help them grow is what truly lights me up. Our motto at Stardust & Pixel is simple but powerful: “Rise and Help Rise.”
I used to work with start-up tech companies at a User Experience design agency in Silicon Beach. It was an exciting and fast-paced environment, but after a few years, I hit a wall and experienced some serious burnout. The constant demands, tight deadlines, and relentless pursuit of perfection had taken a toll on my mental and physical well-being. I realized that I needed a change.
It wasn’t until I slowed down and focused on my own well-being that I discovered the world of spiritual coaching. This journey of self-discovery and self-care opened my eyes to the immense potential within the realm of personal and spiritual growth. I realized that there was a growing need for web design services that could cater specifically to intuitive coaches, educators, and service providers in this niche.
As I delved deeper into this world, I identified a gap in the market. Many budding spiritual coaches, service providers, and educators were struggling to find web design services that truly understood their unique needs and the essence of their work. This realization inspired me to shift my career and start a web design venture that was tailor-made for intuitive coaches and service providers, allowing them to better connect with their audience and share their spiritual wisdom. It was a significant pivot, but it has proved to be a profoundly transformative journey that not only benefits my own well-being but also fills a void in the market for those in the spiritual entrepreneurial field. It’s a story that illustrates how determination, dreams, and a helping hand can shape an inspiring narrative.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, it definitely was NOT a smooth road. Starting from the most humble of beginnings, my husband and I embarked on our separate entrepreneurial journeys, a leap of faith that would define our future. Imagine our family of four living in Los Angeles, a city known for its high costs of living, sharing a single bedroom for an incredible seven years. It was undeniably challenging, but during those times of tight quarters, financial constraints, and the pressure of making ends meet in a pricey city, we clung onto our dreams with unwavering determination. We had to hold onto our faith while navigating the discomfort that life threw our way.
And you know what? All those years of hard work, sleepless nights, and unwavering perseverance have led us to an extraordinarily beautiful new chapter of our lives. It’s a journey that has brought me to the relaunch of Stardust & Pixel, where I can now combine my passion for web design with a deep sense of purpose, helping others in the field of spiritual and intuitive business. With the motto “Rise and Help Rise,” I’m not only building a thriving business but also giving back to the community that has supported me in my own journey.

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
The crisis reinforced my perspective on the fragility of life, emphasizing not taking even the simplest joys for granted. I’ve learned to prioritize what truly sparks joy in my life, whether it’s in my work, my relationships, or my personal well-being. This crisis has reinforced the importance of loving wholeheartedly and cherishing all moments with loved ones.
Moreover, the pandemic has emphasized the significance of focusing on the things within our control. While there are external forces beyond our influence, we have the power to make choices that impact our lives positively. This period had encouraged me to give my all to the endeavors I’m passionate about, to be resilient in the face of adversity, and to adapt to unforeseen circumstances.
