Sarah is a registered architect and LEED accredited professional with 20 years of experience in the residential and commercial markets. She excels at balancing the aesthetic beauty of creative design with the functional and practical considerations of every project. She believes that great design begins with you, the client, and that by asking the right questions she can get to the heart of your issues and concerns; holistically, with passion and purpose. Design is more than making a space look good, it’s about solving problems and making your space work best for you.
With twenty years of experience as a small business owner, Sarah understands the importance of completing on time, within budget, and with the least amount of disruption to your business as possible. At the end of the construction process, Sarah’s clients end up with a better space than they imagined possible.
Raised in Columbus Ohio, Tianna spent her younger years participating in art, sports, reading and writing. Her passion for Architecture began through experiencing the disparities her paralyzed grandmother faced daily navigating throughout spaces. Paying attention to the lack of equitable design solutions as a child is what led her to pursuing architecture. That passion then led her to the University of Cincinnati for her B.Arch degree and later to pursuing her M.Arch degree at Washington University in St Louis. Over the past decade she has worked on several types of design projects such as residential, healthcare, workplace, higher education, community design, and lastly, but not least, several architectural mentorship programs for the inner-city youth.
In addition to her professional work experience, she has also traveled the world exploring various cultures, design, and diversity in Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Macau, Mexico, etc. Though traveling will always be a passion of hers, she recently relocated back to her hometown Columbus, Ohio as an architectural design specialist at WSA. As her career continues forward, she is excited to be a part of a design community that challenges and champions the culture of equity, diversity and inclusion through architecture, design, and mentorship.
Chadelle is a lifelong resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, along with her husband. She graduated from Hampton University in 2003. During her time away from working in Architecture, she has volunteered for a faith-based organization, putting her B. Arch to use in renovation projects around Ohio and Pennsylvania. Currently, she works remotely for Redlef Group Architects in Seabrook, MD.
Some of her favorite things to do are: entertain, create her own clay creations, and volunteer her time to help others. Her passion is for Residential Architecture. It was sparked as a child by her mother taking her to model houses and construction sites, as well as her grandfather’s ability to design and build seemingly anything. Becoming a Registered Architect has been her childhood dream, one that her parents always supported and encouraged her to reach for. She’s excited to enhance her contributions to the community by combining her love of learning about people and being able to find solutions to their problems through beautiful designs that will benefit them in their daily life. Always up for a challenge, she’s eager to take on the ARE, and come out victorious!
