Sarah Armstrong | Starting a Successful Business in a Male Dominated Field

Published: May 18, 2022, 12:50 p.m.

In this episode, I spoke to architect, Sarah Armstrong who has over 25 years of expertise as an architect. After graduating magna cum laude from Virginia Tech in 1996, she went on to work for a number of award-winning firms in the Washington DC area gaining experience in both the institutional and residential markets. 
Finding her passion was serving clients and their families on residential projects, Sarah launched the boutique firm, Studio 360 LLC. Licensed in VA, MD, and DC, Sarah and her team focus on creating custom new homes, large-scale additions, renovations, and condo remodels with an emphasis on both physical and emotional wellness. Sarah and I talked a lot about her experiences working in a male-dominated field, the challenges that come with that, and how she has had to handle those situations. Sarah refers to herself as a "data geek" and shared how important numbers are to her and her business' success. I had the best time chatting with Sarah about business, work-life balance, and being a successful career woman. 
Studio 360 LLC offers clients the perfect mix of the creativity and craftsmanship of a top-tier firm, paired with the attentiveness and value of a sole proprietor.  She has gained valuable experience partnering with contractors and overseeing the design and construction of over 100 homes in the DC metro area.  Well acquainted with the practical needs of a modern family, she listens closely, collaborates with clients on multiple options, and then ensures the design solution is executed with excellence on every residential project.
