Sarah Stern-Benoit, The Modern Vic’s founder and principal designer, loves nothing more than collaborating with clients to produce interior design that is authentic to their style, while maintaining the unique details of their historic homes.

As your designer, Sarah is a thoughtful and committed design partner with deep experience. She is a trusted resource throughout the design process, practicing creativity, collaboration, and attention to detail in all she does.

Thanks to her background, Sarah is committed to ensuring your new space is truly your own.

“If it weren't for Sarah and The Modern Vic, home remodel project would never have happened. I am so grateful for all of the time, energy and love they put into creating our house. It’s a beautiful, welcoming, comfortable and functional space. ”
