Sadie was foremost an actress, performing extensively on stage and screen. She achieved success at an early age, attending the prestigious Italia Conti school and appearing in the play ‘Mumbo Jumbo’, directed by Nicholas Hytner, at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester at nineteen.  Her first film role came in the form of character ‘Rebecca’ in the film ‘Dark Obsession’ (originally titled ‘Diamond Skulls’), working opposite Gabriel Byrne and Amanda Donohue.

She also co-produced ‘Love, Honour and Obey’ starring Jude Law and Ray Winstone, and ‘Sky Captain’ starring Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, which went on to make $58 million at the box office.

Continuing her desire to work in film, Sadie formed Blonde to Black Pictures with her friends Emma Comley and Andrew Green in 2011. With an ethos to nurture and develop new talent, mixing a formula of art-house with more mainstream commercial successes and exposure, they completed their first feature ‘Buttercup Bill’ in 2013. ‘Set the Thames on Fire’; which was a feature and stars Noel Fielding, Lily Loveless and Sadie.

Matching contemporary innovative design with striking attention to detail, FrostFrench made a substantial impact in the UK and created worldwide interest in major markets such as the US and Japan. Describing their designs as ‘classical with a twist of pop’, Sadie and Jemima were awarded ‘Designers of the Year’ by Elle Magazine in 2004. They continue to design for the company’s sister brands ‘Floozie’ and ‘Iris and Edie’.

Sadie has written articles for publications including Harpers Bazar, Stella Magazine, Sunday Times and Balance. Sadie is also passionate about supporting various charities.
