Sarah joined Payette in 2004 as part of the PDSI (Physics and DMSE) team at MIT. She quickly established herself as an organizational leader, coordinating teamwork through early construction activities. For the past five years, she has managed the Harvard Art Museums project with Renzo Piano Building Workshop, shepherding this complex project through design, budgetary and political hurdles. Sarah is also a leader in the firm’s Women in Design group and has championed to make Payette a more family-friendly work place. She received her B.S. in Architecture from the University of Michigan in 1994 and her M.Arch. from Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1998.
