TESTIMONIALS
“Sara is currently designing two Sofitel projects for me. I have worked with her in the past, from design to completion, and she was my first choice designer for the current project. I like her energy, passion, creativity, vision and no-nonsense approach – all of which helps to deliver a successful outcome.”
Dr Julia Chamberlain, Alitas UK.
“We have worked with Sara on a variety of different projects over the years and her professionalism & experience always gave us confidence. Every interior was unique and special; the results speak for themselves….”
Michael Benyan, Founder of The Zetter Group
“I have had the good fortune to work with Sara since 2011. She has designed a number of hospitality concepts for me (both in London and Los Angeles) ranging from restaurants, hotel rooms, meeting/conference/event spaces, club lounges, live performance spaces, swimming pools and outdoor seating areas.
Without exception, Sara has always delivered innovative and fresh designs, tailored to the commercial needs of the business. Her designs have stood the test of time and still receive positive feedback from guests.
On a personal level, she’s is joy to work with – smart, client-focused and inspiring”
Sue Walter, Founder & Director, Sue Walter Associates
“Sara has been a genuine pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail and thoroughness were spot-on in terms of matching our brief, and she was able to articulate clearly and concisely every detail of the drawings. She understood we were creating something unique and helped us from the beginning till the end of the project - from sourcing the materials to ensuring we can avail of any supplier discounts. Her insight on how interior design needs to match the functionality of a venue was extremely useful, too.
I would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and talented designer, and look forward to working with her again.
Ahsan Akbar, Founder & CEO of Teatulia, UK
