Sarah Vaccaro, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, is Principal of Architects FORA. Her career has included a variety of project types from educational buildings to a children's museum and zoo. After practicing architecture in the Bay Area for over a decade, Sarah joined OJK Architecture + Planning. In 2021, Jerry King entrusted his firm of 40 years to Sarah, Leah, and Kate to continue designing beautiful, resilient, and affordable housing in partnership with their long-standing non-profit housing developer clients. Today, Architects FORA (previously OJK Architecture + Planning) is focused on creating equitable housing that empowers our communities.

Sarah is a California licensed architect and LEED-accredited professional with a passion for the design process and creatively collaborating with clients to best serve the end-users. She strongly believes that architecture has the power and responsibility to improve lives through purposefully designed spaces and by affecting positive social change in the broader community. She respects the responsibility of designing places individuals will call home and is deeply committed to FORA’s collaborative approach and restorative process.

In her free time, you might find Sarah hanging out in one of the epic forts she enjoys making with her children and husband. They also enjoy playing games, making art and going on adventures! For relaxation, Sarah enjoys going on hikes, solo or with friends, quiet time, reading, and doing yoga.
