Philadelphia area designer, ceramicist, community organizer, humanitarian, and disability advocate
Sana utilizes design to support human dignity, accessibility, and stewardship. She has appeared on Peacock, Netflix, QVC, and Universal Kids, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, House Beautiful, and Realtor.com.
Sana co-founded the Ridgewood Community Garden in NYC which serves as a source of healthy, organic, food for local residents, an edible teaching garden, and neighborhood greenspace. She worked in Greece, designing a circus tent for an occupational therapy organization, and in Athens, helping refugees create gardens and build furniture to improve their temporary living conditions. Sana stewarded the Philly Goat Project’s wheelchair-accessible garden and facilitated therapeutic gardening activities for people with disabilities.
As the host of Backyard Blowout on Peacock, Sana helped children renovate their family’s backyard as a gift to their parents.
Sana also advocates for people with disabilities. Born from her family’s need for in-person community connection among other families who have children with disabilities, Sana created the Creative Movers Playgroup. Since its formation in 2022, this monthly playgroup has grown into a thriving community of families with disabled children. Sana continues to push for equity and greater inclusion of disabled children in all aspects of life. In 2024 she was awarded KenCrest’s Community Champions Award for her advocacy and Creative Movers Playgroup.
In her spare time, Sana daydreams about all things pottery. Her ceramics celebrate her love of food, culture, and gardening. Sana’s pottery is available for custom order.
