Locus Design

At Locus Design Collaborative, we believe in the power of attentive listening as the starting point for any successful project. Our clients have come to expect this focus and intention in our work, which is why we've established ourselves as a full-service architecture/design/project management firm. We specialize in creating meticulously considered corporate, commercial, and retail spaces that are tailored to meet our clients' unique needs while keeping them on budget, on time, and on brand.

Our team is led by Sarah Vitek, a visionary and a registered architect with over 25 years of experience in commercial interiors. Sarah's unique, hands-on approach has garnered a loyal clientele in New York City, Fairfield County, CT, and Westchester County, NY. Her expertise lies in Corporate Interior Design, with a wealth of experience in the financial services, legal, retail, and medical sectors. Many of her enduring landlord relationships have resulted in ongoing, high-quality building marketing, stacking, and repositioning work.

Sarah's commitment to a balanced work-life dynamic is evident in our projects and is a testament to the establishment of Locus Design Collaborative in 2017. Her passion for community and philanthropic groups, such as volunteering with Literacy Volunteers in Stamford, supporting the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women initiative, and joining the Fairfield County chapter of Real Estate Divas, further demonstrates her dedication to making a positive impact.

In 2022, Sarah Little, a seasoned leader with a decade of experience in the residential design industry, stepped into the role of Associate Principal at Locus Design Collaborative. Sarah excels in marketing and firm management, and her recent achievements include successfully managing the build-out of several 10,000 - 20,000 square foot spaces. Her exceptional coordination skills and ability to work seamlessly between the internal design and architectural team, MEP engineers, and other consultants have made her an invaluable asset to our team.

At Locus Design Collaborative, we understand that every client has unique challenges and goals. That's why we take the time to listen and understand your needs before diving into the design process. We believe that our collaborative approach sets us apart and allows us to create spaces that not only meet but exceed our clients' expectations. Whether you're looking to renovate an existing space or build a new one from the ground up, we're here to help you bring your vision to life.
