Sarah began her journey with formal training in architecture, laying the foundation for her passion for design. Growing up on construction sites, she developed a deep appreciation for the building process, likening it to the hard work and satisfaction of restoring an old vehicle to its modern glory. During her time in Europe, she became deeply inspired by the elegance of European design, particularly the historical styles of French and Italian architecture. This experience ignited her fascination with blending timeless craftsmanship and modern living, shaping the thoughtful and sustainability-focused approach she brings to her work today. For Sarah, there is nothing more magical than something handmade that is hundreds of years old and still stands strong today, a testament to the enduring beauty of skilled craftsmanship.
Jeff's passion for design is deeply rooted in his global experiences, artistic background, and a decade of hands-on construction experience. Having spent much of his childhood in Singapore, he developed a fascination with Asian-influenced design and the beauty of cultural arts. While exploring smaller towns away from the modern hustle, Jeff immersed himself in traditional craftsmanship and storytelling, values that now inspire his design approach. His time in construction gave him invaluable knowledge of materials, building techniques, and the practicalities of bringing designs to life, adding a layer of expertise to his creative vision. During his college years in Savannah, Georgia, Jeff developed a deep appreciation for antique homes and restoration, further shaping his passion for blending history with modern design. With a foundation in visual arts, a master's degree in visual effects, and years of construction experience, Jeff brings a unique blend of artistry, technical skill, and practical know-how to DGH & Co. His work reflects a commitment to creating interiors that harmonize history, culture, and contemporary living, always with an emphasis on craftsmanship, wellness, and sustainability.
