Tennis legend Venus Williams established V Starr in 2002 out of her love for design and business, and with Sonya at the helm since 2009, the firm has crafted outstanding interiors for everything from high-end tennis clubs and resort spas to exquisite private residences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonya Haffey has design in her family; influenced by her aunt&#8217;s modern interiors and her grandmother&#8217;s custom furniture designs, Sonya&#8217;s lineage of design and her love of abstract art show through in her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduating from Florida State University, Sonya studied interior design abroad in London, Paris, Milan, and Glasgow. She then went on to start and run her own firm for 16 years before joining V Starr.
