is the studio & office

THE STUDIO

This is where pattern lives, literal and otherwise. This is the visual side of my practice where I explore shape, pattern, and color through painting, drawing, and surface design. It’s an evolution of my work as a textile designer. It’s slower, more exploratory.

THE OFFICE

Brand strategy and creative direction for founders who are building something worth building. This is where I bring 15 years of creating, designing, and scaling a product brand to everything I take on. Whether you need a brand identity from scratch, product design and development for physical goods, creative direction for campaigns, or a strategic thought partner as you grow.

Hey, I’m Sara Berks.

I'm a creative director, brand strategist, and product designer. For 12 years, I founded and led MINNA, a nationally recognized home textile brand, overseeing everything from brand identity and creative direction to product design, ethical manufacturing, and retail partnerships with the likes of Design Within Reach, Nordstrom, and Ace Hotels. Now I work through Portals.
