Sharon Guyette
Founder & Principal Designer
Sharon’s path to design began at twenty-one with a moment of quiet clarity. Inside a home layered with intention — soft
linens, candlelight, and thoughtful detail — she instinctively understood the power of a well-curated environment. That early
impression shaped a lifelong appreciation for homes that feel personal, welcoming, and deeply alive.
After a successful career in marketing, Sharon spent years immersing herself in the world of craftsmanship and design.
When she stepped fully into her calling 27 years ago, she brought with her a unique ability to align design intent with
construction realities — a skill that has defined her practice ever since.
Today, as the founder of Sapphire Design & Renovation, LLC Sharon works with clients throughout Oregon and across the
country — from primary homes and senior lifestyle transitions in Portland and Lake Oswego, to vacation properties and
absentee-owner projects in Scottsdale, Denver, San Diego, and Seattle. Wherever her clients are, she brings the same
promise: a home that nurtures them today and evolves with them for every year ahead.
