What SARAH CAIN DESIGN does

Sarah Cain Design is a private, founder-led interior design firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Gainesville, Florida, with a second office in Naples, Florida. The firm provides turn-key luxury interior design services to affluent residential clients and select commercial customers across the Southeast Florida market. Its service mix spans a structured five-phase design process (Discovery Call, Design Concept, Design Development, Procurement and Project Management, and Installation), with featured projects including European Retreat, Classic Mediterranean Estate, Villa Bleu, and commercial work for The Keys Grill & Piano Bar, Lozano Dental, the Learfield office, and Oelrich Construction.

The firm employs 6 people, led by Principal and Chief Visionary Sarah Cain, who holds NCIDQ certification (#026455) and a Florida interior design license (#5928). The team also includes Senior Interior Designer/Project Manager Paola V Perez, Business Manager Jerralyn McDonald, Associate Designer Kassie Trimble, Technical Designer Luna Restrepo, and marketing and design interns. The firm relies on standard interior design software for drafting, 3D modeling, and rendering, and applies no proprietary technology platform beyond the design process itself.

The business model is professional services with quote-based, project-tied pricing tailored to scope rather than disclosed published rates. Client acquisition is sales-led, driven by a portfolio website, media coverage in publications such as Good Housekeeping and Florida Design Magazine, social media managed by a dedicated intern, and video testimonials from named clients. The firm has received multiple industry awards, including ASID First Place awards in 2022 across Residential, Commercial Hospitality, and Miscellaneous Wild Card categories, Gator 100 recognition in 2019 and 2020, and a Best of Houzz Service award in 2015. There is no external equity funding, no M&A history, and no disclosed revenue data.
