MEET THE TEAM BEHIND THE COLLECTIVE

SARAH HARGRAVE

Owner + Principal Designer
info@thecollectivedallas.com

With over 10 years experience in construction and interior design, Sarah offers a very broad spectrum of capabilities. A former builder, Sarah understands every aspect of the construction of a home, whether it’s a new build, remodel, or turnkey property. This has given her the uncanny ability to strictly manage budgets, timelines, and to have a vision long before a property is completed. Sarah works with her team to manage a stress-free design process from start to finish. Her passion is vintage furniture, so in April of 2017, Sarah opened her first storefront, The Collective, that houses an art gallery, custom furniture studio, vintage pieces from her travels, and a huge rug collection. Her goal with the shop remains the same today as when it was founded: design should be attainable for everyone and available to everyone because there is no more important place than home. Sarah attended Texas A&M University along with her husband Erik and have resided in Lakewood for several years.
