A graduate from The Art Institute of Philadelphia, Sarah received her Bachelors degree in Interior design in 2012. After her acceptance of the Academic Achievement Award in interior design, Sarah decided to leave the city of Philadelphia for New York City. Sarah is now working in the commercial side of interior design managing, designing, and updating offices around the country for Arch Insurance Group.
Sarah's style has been described as sophisticated, edgy and modern with a quirky twist. Her favorite designs always entail a beautiful mix of modern patterns and prints with a vintage line. In 2012 Sarah took her love for interiors and started the blog Color Me Quirky. The blog has since been featured on West Elm’s blog Front & Main and the online magazine Delighted.
While Sarah’s design sense continues to flourish, she happily takes on freelance projects of various sizes. To contact Sarah for legitimate job opportunities please feel free to email her at sarahfinkelstein55@gmail.com
