About Us

My middle name is Shurette (pronounced [shuh-ret]). I was named after my maternal grandmother's maiden name, and until I was about five years old, I was only ever called Shurette. I didn't even know my name was Sara until I went to kindergarten!  

A charrette (pronounced [shuh-ret]), often Anglicized to charette or charet and sometimes called a design charrette, is an intense period of design or planning activity by one person or a group of people prior to a deadline.
