Sana is an innovator in hospitality, based in Coastal Georgia & New York

With over a decade of experience, I have been at the forefront of shifts in the hospitality industry, shaping and reshaping how we engage with hotel spaces while fostering deeper connections between travelers, locals, and operators.

My vision blends creativity, purpose, and a touch of intuition to reimagine the essence of brand experience. I strive for intentional placemaking—whether in hotels, bars, or restaurants—finely tuned at every level: familiar faces, the perfect chair pitch, servers who remember your name, and the song you just Shazam’d that becomes your new favorite. It’s a combination of subtle, just-right moments make us feel as though we have found ourselves at the center of the universe.

In 2025, I led the creative and design of a forthcoming historic 1931 church-to-hotel and restaurant project that I began concepting in Los Angeles with a very talented team a couple of years back. A 1968 Viking lodge in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and many others. These projects capture a moment of creative momentum—and I’m thrilled to share what’s to come.
