Sarah Gallop, RID

As the Director of Design at SGDI, Sarah believes that great design should be both timeless and deeply personal. With a background in marketing, psychology, art direction, and a diploma in Interior Design from the British Columbia Institute of Technology, she brings a well-rounded perspective to every project—balancing creativity, strategy, and functionality. Founding SGDI in 2009, she set out to create a full-service firm that champions collaboration, precision, and meaningful client relationships.

Sarah is a Registered Interior Designer (RID) with NCIDQ certification and professional membership in the Interior Designers Institute of BC. She is passionate about designing spaces that elevate everyday life and finds inspiration in helping clients define and express their unique vision. Her work spans custom homes, renovations, and commercial interiors across Canada and beyond—each project rooted in thoughtful detail and intentional design. She especially values the trust that builds over the course of a project and the transformation that happens when a house truly becomes a home.

When she’s not leading her award-winning team or speaking at industry events, Sarah enjoys getting involved in her community; whether supporting local causes – such as the Delta Hospital Foundation and Delta Heritage Society where she serves as Board members, contributing to the industry with her work as the Chair of the HAVAN’ s (Homebuilders Association of Vancouver) Designer Council, or exploring creative outlets outside of design through painting or making pottery with Delta Potters.

Her dream project? A heritage home restoration that blends old-world charm with modern livability—where every finish tells a story and function is never an afterthought.

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.
Design is how it works.” – Steve Jobs
