Her thoughtfulness and personalized attention to detail is unmatched. She is incredibly unique in her creative thought process. Yes, she is very talented. She is also a genuinely good human. She cares about the environment. She cares about inclusivity. She brings that passion into her work. If you have the privilege to work with Sarah, you will find it to be a wonderful experience. **★★★★★ — Julius Su, Jan. 2024** > After my son was diagnosed with autism, I contacted Sarah about transforming my small condo into a supportive space for his intensive at-home therapies. She understood my wishlist — a sensory retreat, running path, climbing areas, toy storage, etc. — while keeping it realistic within the constraints of 400 sq ft. > > Her design was amazing. Through thoughtful layout and multipurpose furnishings, she included climbing structures, a "treehouse" with slide, a running path marked on the floors, and soft padded areas. A large rug demarcated the main therapy zone, with surrounding activity areas funneling attention. The overall effect was a flexible, practical home that still felt vibrant, playful and colorful. > > I appreciated Sarah's deeply collaborative process. Despite her greater experience, it was a conversation where she guided me through options and tradeoffs. Her solutions reflected tremendous insight into my son's needs. After each discussion, she would return days later with creative ideas that somehow captured exactly what I had wished for. She made everything seem possible. > > The space had an enormously positive impact. My son happily engages with therapists while also enjoying imaginative play. His communication blossomed over the next year as his outgoing personality emerged. The room delights neurotypical kids too - they never want to leave! I couldn't have asked for a better interior designer and partner. **★★★★★ — Paul Hoffman, June 2020** > I love the creative solutions proposed by this team. The use of natural and organic materials really goes with my personal ethos. **★★★★★ — interiordesignlover\_90, Oct. 2019** > Sarah Barnard is an excellent designer!

We appreciate your support! I'm looking forward to starting the mountain house! **★★★★★ — Brightech, May 2019** > Wow Sarah's work is absolutely incredible. We often use her work for inspiration, particularly the comfy feel of the beach house and the incredible creative studio in Pacific Palisades. 5-Stars! **★★★★★ — Lena White, May 2019** > I'm so glad I found Sarah! My friend introduced us after his project was completed. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and talented. She was able to create exactly what I wanted for my home. The level of detail and finishing of my new pieces are exquisite. I can't recommend Sarah and her staff highly enough. **Comment from Sarah Barnard Design LLC:** > Thank you Lena!
