Owner and Lead Designer, Sandy Bennett, purchased Designing Women in 2016 and has continued its long tradition of quality and creativity. A Baylor University graduate with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Art History, Sandy’s passion for design began early in her career through an internship with The Bryan Design Associates, a renowned high-end design firm. She continued there before joining Pearson English Architectural Design in Houston, where she worked extensively on space planning, design selections, and computer drafting for high-rise commercial projects.

Her experience in both design and architectural environments provided a strong foundation for her later roles as a representative for Design Brokers and Anderson Floor Covering, further deepening her expertise in flooring and materials. Eventually, Sandy returned to her hometown of Tyler to raise her family and bring her design experience back to the community she loves.

At Designing Women, Sandy and her team believe every space should reflect the people who live in it—beautiful, welcoming, and full of life.

Sarah’s passion for design and cultural arts led her to a position at Designing Women in 2022. She loves helping people design spaces that tell a story in every detail. Through on-site experience and project oversight, she has honed her product and design knowledge. Sarah personally enjoys a wide variety of design styles and aesthetics. In her off time, she enjoys being in nature, spending time with friends and family, and traveling.

Gina’s love of design has been expressed in many ways throughout her life. She worked for 25 years in the makeup artist industry, using color theory and creative decision making. After years of renovating her own homes, as well as friends and family seeking design advice, she decided the interior design bug was here to stay. In her free time, you can catch her at church activities/ bible studies, working on her own home remodeling projects, or spending time with her fur babies and family.
