Sara shares her unique approach to interior design,
emphasizing the art of storytelling and how it shapes the spaces we create. She

social media and the pandemic, which has transformed how clients envision their
homes. Sara discusses the significance of understanding clients' personal
histories and cultural influences, and how these elements are essential in
crafting distinctive and meaningful environments.

Let’s Sum It Up:

The design boom has redefined client expectations and the
role of designers in creating personalized spaces.

heritage, and the unique narratives of those who inhabit the space.

Until next time — keep cultivating creativity.
