Reflecting on her career, Sarah shares: *"Being a stylist in this fast-paced industry has allowed me to quickly identify what's missing in the marketplace and create designs or direct shoots that meet my clients' specific and diverse needs. I began designing and sourcing hard-to-find fashions that would look incredible. I created my own fitness and swimsuit lines simply because I couldn't find exactly what I needed for my clients, which include celebrities, directors, and photographers."*
