Sarah Wiener was born and raised in the Bay Area. She spent the majority of her childhood in San Carlos, California and after a brief foray to Seattle, WA, she returned to the Golden State. A deep love of Japanese history and culture inspired her to pursue a BA in Asian Studies from the University of California Berkeley, which she received in 2009. When asked what she wanted to do with her degree, she decided to get another one and pursue the career she'd always wanted in illustration. She graduated from the Academy of Art University of San Francisco in spring 2012 with a BFA in Illustration.
