Welcome to Sarah E Shephard, a fully qualified upholsterer with over 25 years of experience in furniture and related industries. Based in Helensburgh, Argyll, the business is well placed to serve Glasgow, Edinburgh, West and Central Scotland.

Sarah is an upholsterer with an eye for detail and a flair for style. She started her career at Winchester School of Art before gaining a first class honours degree in Three Dimensional Design at Newcastle Polytechnic. After working for furniture makers Stephen Down and Alexander Ward her career then took her to classic boat restoration. Aside from this Sarah has illustrated 7 books published by Royal Yachting Association.

Working in collaboration with wood-worker Gareth Wilson, Sarah established Design in Harmony in 2016 and this led her to take up the tack hammer to upholster the seats they had prototyped. Sarah spent 5 years training under the watchful eye of Master Upholsterer James Keane, and passed her AMUSF Diploma with distinction. Working from her purpose built workshop in Helensburgh, Sarah is set up to take on a breadth of upholstery work, offering a one stop shop for even the most hopeless of furniture cases.
