A cool new approach, where a seasoned custom design build sales leader creates a business centered entirely around client advocacy.

In this inspiring episode of PowerHouse SMART Cool Collabs, Wendy Cohen sits down with Sarah Rudy, Founder of SR Design & Renovation, to discuss her unique approach to helping homeowners navigate the often-complex world of remodeling, renovation, and new construction.

Drawing upon her extensive background in retail leadership, homebuilding, sales, and client experience—including serving as Vice President of Sales & Marketing for a luxury custom builder—Sarah shares why she chose to launch a business designed to sit "next to the client at the table" rather than across from them.

• Together, Wendy and Sarah explore:
• The power of client advocacy in design and construction
• Why education builds confidence throughout the renovation journey
• How strong collaboration creates better outcomes for homeowners
• The importance of helping clients feel heard, understood, and supported
• Building a business rooted in service, trust, and relationships
• Living and leading with an attitude of gratitude

Whether you're a homeowner planning a renovation, an industry professional, or an entrepreneur launching a new venture, Sarah's thoughtful insights and servant-hearted approach offer valuable lessons for us all.

Because sometimes the greatest transformation isn't just the space itself—it's the confidence people gain along the way.
