Hey friend!

I am Sarah Duncan and I am the Founder and Principal Designer of Duncan Interior Designs.

The origin of my story began with the creative arts. Coming from a background of singing and dance, along with seeing the creations of my mother who is a seamstress-creativity has always been in my DNA.

Growing up, I always had a love for interior design. I can remember walking through different neighborhoods and being fascinated by the way people designed their homes and watching design shows to my heart’s content. However, I never really saw designers who looked like me or considered pursuing a career in design. Eventually, I started working in full-time ministry serving young adults and women, gaining extensive experience in planning the logistics for conferences, retreats and more.

Then the pandemic hit, bringing everything to a screeching halt and I found myself back in my childhood bedroom. Outside of the ugly wallpaper and flooring, transparently, it was a room that held a lot of painful memories for me. The toll of being back in that space started to negatively impact my mental health. Then, one day, I decided it was time for a change. I ripped up that ugly flooring, tore down the wallpaper, painted the walls, and bought new furniture that resulted in a newly designed space that brought me so much peace. That moment reawakened my love for interior design and I enrolled myself in the interior design course at the New York Institute of Art and Design to get my certification. From there, through much prayer, DID was birthed and we’ve been writing our story ever since.
