A look at Sarah’s work profile will fire up the urge to redesign and redecorate your space. Take it from me, I’ve already imagined my big bedroom makeover! It is a carefully curated, aesthetically stimulating grid, and will certainly give your Pinterest mood board a run for it’s money! Her personal profile, however, is a slight contrast—a testament to her imperfectly perfect life that she lovingly shares snippets of—her family, picturesque landscapes from her travels, and occasional glimpses of her past and present projects.

Sarah Sham is a force to be reckoned with in the interior design space. Principal designer at Essajees Atelier, this firecracker of a mum and her team have bagged several national and global awards, and have easily gone on to become one of the most sought-after design firms; having worked with the likes of the Ambanis, Gautam Singhania, and more. In an exclusive with M&B, Sarah gets candid about her latest project— being mum to 11 month-old Sophia—and her tryst with COVID-19 not once, not twice, but three times around.
