DESIGN TEAM

Sarah has a passion for creating beautiful spaces and providing exceptional client experiences! She began at ASU focusing on an interior design degree when she started working at a luxury resort in Scottsdale. At that point, she fell in love with hospitality and dedicated over a decade welcoming guests to the Valley as well as catering to high level clientele including celebrities and politicians. Her goal was to create visits that felt like their 'home away from home' including personalized touches. Sarah also worked in the tourism industry, selling Scottsdale as a destination to domestic and international visitors. From there, Sarah went on to start her own design and project management company with a focus on residential remodels and additions. Her past experience is the perfect fit for Iconic! Sarah enjoys traveling the world and spending time with her husband and their three kids.

Anastasia is from Ukraine and has lived in Kyiv her whole life. In this city she started learning about interior design and architecture. Firstly, she worked on projects with her aunt who is an interior designer as well and taught her a lot about the industry. In Kyiv, she finished the University of Art where she received her bachelor’s degree in interior design. Later after getting her degree and trying herself in fashion for quite a while she returned to creating interior designs and joined a small studio in Kyiv. They started together with the owner of the company and later grew into a progressive design studio. Even though the team was small they have completed and implemented very optimistic projects and ideas that later won multiple design awards. The war in Ukraine has changed everything for her and moved to Arizona with her husband. She has looked up a lot of studios around Phoenix but only one has hooked her attention and that was Iconic. Once she found out more about the designs created by Iconic and the team she had no doubt that was were she would like to work, as it felt very close to her style and vision on interiors. Now that she's here - she is very glad to be a part of such a fantastic team, creating more beautiful and modern designs together, growing personally and professionally!

Melike (Muh-lee-kay) was born in Istanbul, Turkey and moved to Arizona when she was two years old. She has always been very immersed in Turkish culture, speaking it fluently at home and growing up spending the summers with her grandparents. Traveling fueled her curiosity about the world around her and inspired her to learn more about design and how people in different parts of the world used their spaces. After graduating with a B.S in Interior Architecture at AS, she became in love with residential design. It gives her so much joy to curate a space for someone or a family that is specially catered to them and their needs and will ultimately enhance their everyday life. As an Associate Interior Designer, Melike helps bring Iconic’s designs to fruition through 3D modeling, preparing design presentations by creating plans, elevations and any detailed drawings necessary to best communicate the design. Melike's free time is spent spending time with family, going to concerts, and learning how to be a new dog mom!
Madeline holds a Bachelor of Science in Design in Architecture and a minor in Landscape Architecture from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and a Master of Architecture from The University of Southern California. She is currently working towards obtaining both her architectural license and NCIDQ certification.

As a designer with education and practice spanning from the Midwest to the west coast and in both architecture and interiors, Madeline brings a fresh perspective that inspires and leads creative visioning and design solutions to her projects. She values collaboration, fostering relationships and emphasizes storytelling through “empathetic design,” when bringing to life the vision of her client. Her project experience ranges from hospitality work to graphic design and brand positioning, to campus master planning and single-family homes - although her passion lives in the human scale of hospitality and residential work where design can have a unique, intimate impact on its users. Her natural curiosity for design goes beyond beautiful spaces and into the world of graphics, fashion, art and landscape which uniquely positions her to design holistically, beyond the physical space, and towards the creation of a sense of place through experience, color and texture.

Erika comes to Iconic with experience in high end residential interior design. Prior to her career in design, Erika had years of well-rounded experience in the construction industry working for an infrastructure contractor where she was exposed to working and living in a wide range of places.

The cosmopolitan city with a culture of art and cutting-edge, sophisticated design unleashed a passion that had been missing in her career. Erika is passionate about the power of design to transform experiences and inspire. She is excited to be working with the dynamic team at Iconic to create beautiful and functional spaces for our clients that bring their dreams to life.

In addition to speaking Spanish, she pursued an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in French alongside her Interior Design education. After spending most of her 20s traveling and living abroad, Daniela considers joining the Iconic team her crowning achievement (followed closely by her ability to crack a dad joke on a moment’s notice). As a draftsman, Daniela tackles the technical drawings of Iconic's unique designs. She would be remiss if she didn’t acknowledge her parents’ hard work and unconditional love as the foundation for her success. Her dad never met a stranger and taught her that life is easier when the world is your friend. Her mom taught her how to prevail in the face of any obstacle and to have fun while doing it. Daniela’s early exposure to personal development has evolved her mindset into one of purposeful intention and problem solving, all while having a grand time and creating a warm and lighthearted environment wherever she goes.
