More about Sara: I am currently an architecture/interior design consultant for FJ Rawding in Morristown, NJ. Having worked at FJR from 2013-2020, I took a step back during Covid for family reasons. I am now consulting on the Interior Design side of the project assisting with space planning, lighting, all finishes, furniture, fixtures, artwork, & decor. I enjoy the client interaction - taking the architecture to the next level - further implementing the design strategy into the tactile surfaces to make the user experience as good as possible. (The firm does mostly Golf/Country/Social Club work - very hospitality based.) In my 24+ year career, I have been a lead designer at Gensler NYC (5 years), smaller NJ firms (K-12/College design, corporate design, retail and manufacturing facilities design). I have been a sales rep for Knoll calling on the A&D Community. Fun Facts: I have been a local school board member and I participate in local politics. Additionally, I started long-distance running at 45 and now almost 50 (October), I am planning to run my first half-marathon in April. I also volunteer at our local food pantry, which I love! Finally, I am married and have a 13 and 14 year old - it's wild being a parent!
