Academy 10

Zoom Webinar

Co-hosted with Female Design Council

A conversation with Sarah Solis and Felicia Hung.

About the speakers:

Sarah Solis, a classically trained interior designer based in Malibu, founded her namesake studio with a
singular vision: to create spaces that are deeply personal, timeless, and transportive. Her work is
celebrated for its harmonious balance of warmth, calm, form, and function. With degrees in interior
design, fine art, and art history, Sarah brings a richly layered perspective to every project – bridging
classical influences with the rhythms of modern living. Her portfolio spans a range of residential and
commercial work for a diverse roster of clients, including celebrities, CEOs, and artists.

Sarah designs to inspire, tell stories, and elevate the everyday. A devoted world traveler, her journeys
across the globe are a constant source of inspiration. Each project reflects her love of organic natural
materials, her commitment to lasting craftsmanship, and her respect for the history and architecture
of a space. Above all, she believes in the power of small details to create big feelings.
Her approach is intuitive and nonlinear, unfolding through collaboration and curiosity. In a cultural
moment of ever-changing trends, Sarah’s work endures. She believes that design should restore,
support, and evolve over time.

In 2024, Sarah launched her bespoke furniture collection, Galerie Solis, the culmination of her formal
training, years of importing European furnishings, and a lifelong study of great design.
Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Vogue Living, WWD, Forbes, Milieu, The Wall Street
Journal, 1stDibs, and other leading publications.

Felicia Hung is the Co-Founder of In Common With and Quarters. With a background in product
design, she has shaped the studio’s identity around a deep engagement with craft, materials,
and the often-invisible processes that bring objects to life. Since co-founding In Common With
with Nick Ozemba in 2018, Felicia has led the development and production of the brand’s
modular lighting and homeware systems, building frameworks that allow experimentation and
handcraft to coexist with precision and scale. Her role extends beyond design into the
orchestration of supply chains, logistics, and systems—ensuring that each piece reflects both
rigor and adaptability. In 2024, she and Nick Ozemba expanded their vision with Quarters, a
hybrid retail and hospitality destination in New York, where her commitment to process
translates into environments that feel seamless, alive, and ever-evolving. Across both ventures,
Felicia continues to expand what design entrepreneurship can be, grounding it in structure while
leaving room for curiosity, collaboration, and change.
