PORTALS
is the studio & office of Sara Berks
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.
Hey, I’m Sara Berks.
I’m a creative director, strategist, and founder exploring the intersections of art, design, and business. For 12 years, I built and led MINNA, a queer-led home textile brand rooted in deep artisan partnerships and a human-centered supply chain. Now I work through Portals. Part studio, part office, it’s where I create artwork, explore patterns, and where I collaborate with founders and brands to bring clarity, care, and intention to the way we build.
THE OFFICE
This is the part of my brain that likes a spreadsheet. And a moodboard. It’s where we figure out what your brand actually is, develop your sales strategy, or how to untangle your pricing strategy without losing your soul (or your margins).
