Her goal with any project is to deliver a highly personalized experience, resulting in spaces that inspire, comfort, and evoke a sense of tranquility. Known for her use of calming color palettes, harmonious tones, and layers of natural materials, her work is meant to enhance the experience of everyday living.

Classically trained at Harrington College of Design, Sarah has been designing luxury spaces and collaborating with top architects for over 15 years.

HOLLY MOLLICONE

DESIGN DIRECTOR

Holly’s role at SDD is simple (but complex!): doing whatever it takes to keep each project moving, successfully, on behalf of all vested parties: our Design & Business Teams, our partner Architects & Builders, our trusted Vendors, and of course, our Clients.

After graduating from the University of Illinois, Holly spent the first years of her career in Marketing, quickly moving up the corporate ranks and eventually starting her own Event Marketing Business, which she ran for nearly 10 years.

At a pivotal time in life, Holly chose to pursue her true passion of Interior Design. While in the Interior Design Program at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Holly landed the opportunity to work with SDD in a part-time role, which allowed her to simultaneously dive into the day-to-day tasks of Interior Design. Her natural design eye & keen business acumen made her an immediate cornerstone of the SDD team. Holly now oversees our Design Operations full-time, focused on ensuring project success & client satisfaction.

Alongside Sarah, Holly is the main contact for our Clients’ questions & needs.
