Sarah Mergy

Director of Business Development & Marketing, Owner

As Director of Business Development & Marketing, Sarah Mergy is excited to bring to WDA her passion for finding solutions and connecting people with design. She believes that good design should be accessible to everyone, bring delight and elevate our daily lives. Sarah also takes a deep interest in architectural and demographic trends that drive client decision-making and how design innovations resonate with users.

Like all WDA team members, Sarah is a creative at heart. Her interest in design began at a young age, when at home she’d often surprise her parents with a complete rearrangement and reorganization of a room she felt was “unbalanced.” She channeled her early passion into the study of Interior Design at San Francisco State University. She believes in balanced design, where form and function are equally essential.

Sarah considers herself lucky to live in San Francisco’s Miraloma Park, where she shares a home with her husband and their Boston Terrier Mabel. When not at WDA, you can find her running the urban trails and observing our diverse 7×7 for the next nugget of inspiration.

What is one of your favorite works of design?
Knowledge is Beautiful , David McCandless’ book of graphic visualizations of different ideas, subjects, points of interest, etc. Clever, beautiful graphic design communication of the what’s, why’s and how’s.
What tool of the design trade best represents you?
The Pantone color book. It’s a tool used for getting the right results via communication and a point for color inspiration.
