FEARLESS DESIGN.
JOYFUL LIVING.
Hi, I’m Sarah.
I design art-forward spaces that make people say wow and make you feel at home. The process is collaborative, fun, and completely centered around you. Because if you can’t have fun in your home, where can you?
My Style
Bold, intentional, joy-filled design. I blend what you already own with secondhand treasures and designer gems to create spaces that feel lived-in, loved, and unmistakably yours. Whether you’re a minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between, I help you design a home that feels inspiring, functional, and deeply personal.
Why Work With Me
You deserve a home that feels good the moment you walk in. I make the design process easy, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable—no ego, no intimidation. Just creative problem-solving and spaces you’ll love coming home to.
My Background
I hold a BA in Studio Art, which gives me a unique lens when designing spaces— I see rooms like compositions, balancing color, shape, and flow to create environments that feel intentional and alive. I’m a color expert who loves palettes that go far beyond neutrals, and I’m not afraid to use bold hues when they serve the story of your home. I see rooms as living works of art, and I can visualize the final picture long before we start.
I’ve lived across cities, states, and countries—and spent three years in a 160 sf tiny house with my husband. Tiny living taught me how powerful intentional design can be. When every inch matters, you learn to curate with purpose, design beautifully, and live with what truly supports you.
My Design Philosophy
Terracotta Life was born from the belief that beauty can grow anywhere — like a flower thriving in a simple terracotta pot.
Your home doesn’t need to be huge. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be yours — crafted with care, creativity, and intention.
How I Work
I listen first. Your routines, needs, and personality shape every decision.
I design with intention. Beauty and function work together, always.
I amplify your style. Your taste leads; I bring its boldest version to life.
Why Your Home Matters
Your home impacts your energy, your mood, your creativity, and your ability to rest. A well-designed space isn’t a luxury; it’s a foundation for living well.
I design homes that support happiness, spark joy, and feel like a sanctuary the moment you walk through the door.
Let’s Create Your Space
Whether you're renovating, refreshing a room, downsizing, or dreaming up a custom mural, I’m here to make the process joyful and effortless. Together, we’ll create a home that feels expressive, intentional, and uniquely yours.
