by allthebest • 26 Mar ’08 • profile • 8 Comments
One of the designers that I instantly fell for last year was Sara Story. Sara was one of the domino 10 to watch for 2007. I felt an immediate connection to her beautiful, calming and sophisticated interiors which reflect her extensive travels and global upbringing.
Sara was born in Japan and has lived in Texas, California and New York. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of San Diego, and received a degree in Interior Architecture at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco.
Sara moved to New York City in 2001, where she worked with prominent designers. Keen to infuse her own vision into the world of interiors, she created Sara Story Design, a firm specializing in contemporary, eclectic and timeless interiors. Sara’s designs are as beautiful as the designer herself.

I’d love to do yoga with her and Madonna followed by cocktails. Fun profile.
So that’s the story in Sara, her designs have a nice feng shui to them, they rooms have a sense of ordered calm, restrained yet modern.
