Founder | Principal
Sarah studied Studio Arts and Mathematics at Fairfield University, an unusual combination that serves her well in her design career. Upon her graduation in 2002, Sarah immediately began working for architectural firms and pursuing graduate-level studies in Interiors at The Boston Architectural College.
Sarah honed her design skills working at several commercial and residential design firms, where she developed a strong background in interior architectural design and planning. Working with Boston design firm Elkus-Manfredi Architects, Sarah designed commercial spaces including lobbies, hotels, offices, and restaurants. In 2010, Sarah began working with The McGuinness Group to provide interior design services for commercial spaces. Each firm’s thoughtful, professional approach to interior architecture continued to shape Sarah’s design process as she launched Sarah Scales Design Studio in 2012.
The Studio has contributed content to several local publications, including mentions in Architectural Digest, Rue Magazine, Modern Luxury, New England Home, Boston Home, and Boston Globe Magazine. In 2018, Sarah was the recipient of New England Home’s ‘5 Under 40’ Award, recognizing her as one of the region’s top talents in design. In 2026, Modern Luxury recognized Sarah as 'One-to-Watch', a rising designer in New England.
