Sarah Corbyn Woolf
Lead Designer
Sarah helps pick paint colors for health and home by supporting clients as they identify and articulate their preferences, using creative collaboration to seek both function and inspiration. She trained in color theory with Alicia Keshishian, Berit Bergström, and Jeannette Hanenburg, and in 2023 attended her first Inter-Society Color Council conference as well as the Science in Design Summit, both of which laid the foundation for her interdisciplinary, neuroaesthetic-informed approach.
The heart of her approach lies with encouraging clients to identify what they see and what they love. Whether bedroom color, kitchen countertops, even a bathroom plumbing fixture, she approaches each decision with attention to detail as well as an eye for the big picture, holding all the threads running between the micro and macro view. This results in functional, beautiful, and highly personal spaces. With particularly ferocious communication and organizational skills, she is dedicated to keeping the process as effective, smooth, and joyful as possible.
​
Growing up in an Amy Woolf household, Sarah was the only kid in her school who could explain a full spectrum house paint. This translated to an easily traced curiosity about color and design, from a science fair project replicating Newton’s experimentation with prisms, to later training in theater production, including costume and lighting design. After years of administrative support, she stepped into color consulting as Amy’s junior partner in 2022 and, ever the quick learner, stepped up as lead designer in late 2025.
​
Sarah is a teacher at heart and was primary curriculum developer for Your Brain On Color, Amy Woolf Color & Design's color education pedagogy, which was initially developed for hands-on workshops and has since been recalibrated for educational lectures across the country.
"Sarah was knowledgeable about paint colors and led us though a very thorough process of color selection. She took the lead and at the same time was very collaborative and considerate of our preferences. We ended up with colors that are perfect for us and our new home and we highly recommend using her services!"

Amy Woolf
Founding Partner
Amy brings nearly two decades as an award-winning architectural color consultant and interior designer to the field of residential design and renovation. She began her training in 2006 with Frank Mahnke, author of Color, Environment, and Human Response, and the founder of the International Association of Color Consultants in North America. The primary tenet of her work considers both the psychological and physiological impact of color on one’s experience of the built environment, be it home or workplace, interior or exterior.
Amy serves as a guide in the building and renovation process, helping clients create a vision for their project and then facilitating decisions that support that vision. Through continuing education, traveling to trade shows in the US and Europe, and participating in trend forecasting with Color Marketing Group, she keeps an eye on the trends while maintaining focus on classic, timeless style. She is a strong believer in “feeding the eye” and is constantly out in the world seeing what’s new, noticing how people want to live and design their homes, and of course tracking the color trends.
But the most important part of her resume is the people and the projects. She’s helped many hundreds of clients select joyous and functional colors and materials for their space, locally and across the country. She brings understanding and curiosity to the questions of how humans process complex decisions and how we thrive in our spaces.
