My Story
I am the owner and Principal of SDC Designs, an interior architecture studio located in Greenville, SC.
I began drawing at the age of four. My parents recognized my emerging talent and encouraged me by enrolling me in an art institute when I was eight years old. I studied painting and further developed my artistic skills.
During my undergraduate studies, I majored in graphic design and minored in both photography and painting. My passion for interior design led me to pursue a Master of Science in Interior Design at Pratt Institute in New York, where I also continued to minor in painting.
Throughout my career, I have participated in group exhibitions in various locations, including the Midwest, Greenville, SC, and the Caribbean.
I am an active member of the Metropolitan Arts Council (M.A.C.) in Greenville, SC, and have participated in its group exhibition, "Flat Out Under Pressure," 2023, 2024, and now 2026.

Me, Myself, and Him,
A Journey with the Holy Spirit.
by Sharon Capek (Author)
Several years ago, I felt the need to write a book about my relationship with Jesus Christ. It was important because of my experiences, questions, and frustrations. I longed to know Him and to know His thoughts about me.
This book unveils my journey and the beautiful heart of our compassionate Heavenly Father. The stories are accurate, but a little crazy; however, I encourage us to surrender our thoughts and opinions and engage Him in a conversation. He is waiting to reveal to you how beautiful you are and to give you the answers you have been longing for. May we receive His restorative power and joy to live on purpose as we share our Heavenly Father's love.
The paperback edition is available on Amazon for $17.99.
Me Myself and Him: A Journey With The Holy Spirit - Kindle edition by Capek, Sharon. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks - $9.99.
