Over the past 20 years, Sara (Chiarilli) Davis has established herself as one of the most respected voices in interior design, blending creativity, wellness, functionality, and innovation into a career that has influenced both homeowners and industry professionals nationwide.
A graduate of the University of South Florida, Davis began her professional journey with Norwalk Furniture, where her talent, leadership, and determination quickly distinguished her from her peers. Rising through the ranks at an extraordinary pace, she became one of the youngest managers in the company’s history, laying the foundation for a career defined by entrepreneurial vision and a deep understanding of how thoughtful design can improve people’s lives.
In 2008, while many businesses were retreating amid one of the worst economic recessions the United States had experienced in generations, Davis took a bold leap forward. She founded Artful Conceptions, an interior design firm built on the belief that spaces should be as unique as the people who inhabit them. Launching a business during such uncertain times required resilience, confidence, and an unwavering commitment to excellence—qualities that continue to define her work today.
What began as a small venture quickly evolved into an award-winning design firm known for creating personalized, highly functional spaces that reflect each client’s lifestyle and aspirations. Throughout her career, Davis has remained steadfast in her philosophy that every project should begin and end with the client. Whether designing for professional athletes, busy executives, growing families, or entrepreneurs, she approaches each space with a commitment to understanding the people who will live, work, and thrive within it.
Her expertise and unique perspective have earned national recognition across television and media platforms. Davis served as the designer for Season One of HGTV’s hit series 766.Day.Dream.Home, helping bring dream homes to life for viewers across the country. Her work was also featured on HGTV.Extreme.Living, showcasing her ability to create extraordinary spaces that balance creativity with practical living.
Beyond television, Davis became a familiar face to Tampa Bay audiences through her popular segment, Design.Undefined, on The.Morning.Blend. Through this platform, she educated viewers on design trends, home improvements, and practical strategies for creating beautiful, livable environments.
As her influence grew, so did her reputation as a trusted industry authority. Today, Davis is regularly sought after by leading national publications and media outlets for her expertise on design trends, lifestyle shifts, and the future of residential interiors. Organizations such as Realtor.com, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Better Homes & Gardens, and numerous others have featured her insights, recognizing her ability to translate evolving consumer needs into meaningful design solutions.
One of Davis’s most significant contributions to the industry has been her advocacy for biophilic and wellness-centered design. Long before wellness became a mainstream design conversation, she championed the integration of natural elements, healthier materials, and intentional environments that support physical and emotional well-being. Her work has helped shape broader conversations around how thoughtfully designed spaces can reduce stress, improve productivity, and enhance overall quality of life.
Today, after two decades of success, Sara Davis continues to lead with the same passion and client-focused mindset that launched her career. Through Artful Conceptions, national media appearances, industry thought leadership, and innovative design solutions, she remains a driving force in the evolution of interior design. Her legacy is not measured solely by the spaces she creates, but by the lives she enriches through environments designed with purpose, authenticity, and heart.
