hello, my name is sarah tu
I am a multidisciplinary designer based in Montreal with a rich background in architecture, ephemeral design (scenography, exhibitions, festivals), and retail environments. This blend of education, professional experience, and personal passion for art and fashion has shaped my approach to creating compelling, human-centered spaces and IRL experiences. Today, I hold a unique professional position as Senior Experiential Environmental Designer and a seasoned Project Manager both in experiential environmental design and interior design.
My non-purist approach to design is driven by a holistic understanding of what it means to craft impactful spaces—whether they are built or conceptual. I thrive in multi-scale, interdisciplinary processes, weaving together storytelling, strategy, and aesthetics to develop environments that resonate emotionally and functionally.
At the core of my work lies the question: how can we transform a brand’s values into tangible, immersive experiences? I focus on reimagining real-life interactions, pushing the boundaries of design to create solutions that balance originality, functionality, and a meticulous attention to detail. I collaborate closely with clients, with all the different suppliers and trades, respecting their unique strengths and goals to deliver projects that are not only beautiful but strategically refined.
Whether crafting an immersive retail space, an evocative scenography, or a bold experiential built concept, I am dedicated to construct moments that leave lasting impressions.
