We’re sisters, born seven years apart, raised in Miami, moms (collectively) to three little boys, and partners who love to make people happy in their homes.

Samantha always knew she wanted to work in interior design. Spending hours reviewing fabric samples and industry publications since she was a young kid, interior design endlessly fascinates, inspires and ignites Samantha’s creative spirit and passion for how we live and (since Covid in particular) work in our homes.

After graduating from the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction & Planning, Samantha spent the next several years honing her eye and learning the trade at Miami-based, luxury interior design firms.

In 2021, Samantha and Rebecca launched Samantha Sara Interiors when demand for Samantha’s services from outside projects became too great for her to continue to balance those commitments against her 9-to-5.

If there’s one thread of continuity in Rebecca’s career path it’s a passion for family. After managing her husband’s internationally touring rock band and working in her father’s business and wealth-management boutique law firm, Rebecca decided it was time to partner with her best friend and most fashionable family member by joining Samantha to launch SSI.

With degrees from Duke University and Duke Law, years of experience in counseling small businesses and creatives, and a deep appreciation for efficient systems and organization, Rebecca handles all things contract, finance and operations for SSI.
