SARAH JAMES MOSS | Principal Designer & Proprietor

Sarah James Moss is an independent designer based in South Louisiana.

Moss’ creativity and business acumen are highly regarded by her clients, who entrust her with both the design and management of new construction and remodeling projects. Her extensive travels throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America have influenced her cosmopolitan approach, reflected in spaces that are decidedly chic and sophisticated.

Moss served as Lead Set Designer on four episodes of “Brothers Take New Orleans” on HGTV,  alongside Drew and Jonathan Scott of the “Property Brothers.” When asked about his experience working with Moss, Drew Scott said “Having a local designer on my team was not only a huge asset in bringing an organic New Orleans charm to my design, Sarah also shares the same high level of quality with every project she takes on.”

Moss has consistently been named “Best of Houzz” for Design and Customer Service, awards given to less than 3% of over 3,000,000 designers worldwide. Houzz is the leading platform for home remodeling and design, with more than 40 million monthly users.

Moody III College of Business. Moss also studied classic and modern architecture in France, and completed an independent study on the award-winning BeauSoleil Solar Home.
