Sara Fernandes is an architectural designer based in California whose work sits at the intersection of architecture, art, and ecology. She is interested in how the spaces we create shape the way we experience the world, connect with one another, and understand our relationship with nature.

Her work often begins with a question or something she feels is being overlooked. From the way light enters a space to the lives of the smallest organisms in an ecosystem, she is drawn to things that might seem ordinary but have a much bigger story to tell. Through design, art, and experimentation with materials, she explores how these small observations can lead to larger conversations about the way we live.

With a background in architecture and a growing interest in ecological design, Sara's work moves between the built environment and the natural world. She is particularly interested in creating experiences that encourage people to slow down, look closer, and question what they might otherwise take for granted.

For her, design is not just about solving a problem or creating something that looks good. It is about making people more aware of where they are, of one another, and of the systems that sustain them. She wants her work to do more than serve a purpose. She wants it to make people curious.
