Sterling McDavid is in the business of good taste and good deeds.
She's the Founder of fashion favorite luxury brand Burnett New York, heads up her own interior design firm (I mean, who wouldn't want to live in her Aspen home!?), runs Starling Project, a brilliant candle company providing solar energy to countries in need, and sits on the New York Board of Directors for UNICEF. Pretty impressive, no?
