“Sarena Heumann is exceptional at what she does. With our first project together, I knew her training as an architectural school graduate, and her design process (that includes study providing technical review and calculations) set her apart from other designers.

She is a true collaborator as she “sees” the spaces in a way others don’t and provides true custom and integrated solutions no matter the budget. Her knowledge of a wide variety of vendors makes her stand out from other interior designers who often specify overly expensive decorative fixtures but don’t truly understand if they meet the lighting needs of the space. Sarena is the lighting designer for all my current projects and will be for all future projects.”

Amy Alper, Architect – Sonoma County, CA

Sarena Heumann was a fantastic partner for our brewery and taproom build-out. She devised a lighting plan that perfectly met our needs, timeline, and budget. Sarena brought us along through every step, listening, and helping us understand the design and function of every lighting element within our space.

“We were very impressed by the 3D modeling she created to help us visualize how our lighting plan would perform once installed. Sarena also made several creative suggestions that will help enhance our brewery and taproom and accentuate the equipment and architecture in ways we wouldn’t have thought of previously. If we ever open additional locations for Side Gate Brewery and Beer Garden, we’d happily hire Sarena again!”
