== Founders == '''Sara Berks''' Founder & CEO Meet Sara, the visionary founder and CEO behind MINNA. Named one of Dwell Magazine’s ''30 Emerging Talents in the World of Design'', Sara’s singular style and conscience-driven work are beloved internationally. A weaver and painter, Sara has a distinct understanding of what it takes to create timeless pieces for the home. Her design background from SVA helped hone the identity of MINNA, but ultimately it was her passion for learning about artisanal textiles that led her to work in Latin America. Sara’s dedication to honoring these artisans has led to creating steady workstreams through MINNA that aid in craft preservation and job creation in Mexico, Guatemala, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Peru. One of MINNA's advisors Amy Chender says, “Sara uniquely has both high-level right and left brain capacity. Her ability to analyze complex quantitative concepts and build growth models, coupled with a singular design aesthetic have allowed her to expertly lead both sides of the business dynamically. It’s a rare opportunity to work with this level of talent.” ''Why the name MINNA?'' The name MINNA comes from Sara’s maternal grandmother’s name, dropped upon her arrival to the United States from Germany in 1940. Sara loved this story: nostalgic with a touch of rebellion.
