• Hi, I'm Sara Berks. I'm a creative director, textile designer, artist, and a lot of other things depending on the day. Everything I do is rooted in one idea: co-creation.

Portals is my studio & office. Welcome.

• My philosophy of co-creation started at the loom.

Twelve years working in the artisan sector across Latin America taught me that design and relationship are inseparable: the stronger the collaboration, the better the work. That's still true whether I'm developing a collection, building a brand identity, or working alongside a founder.
