Meet the Team
Sarah
Founder / Creative director
Design-obsessed, outdoor enthusiast, and proud mom to Beckham and Daxytn, Sarah is the creative force behind Patina Rental & Design. Known for pushing the boundaries of event design, she creates fresh, trend-setting experiences that go far beyond standard rentals in the area.
Sarah has a deep love for handcrafted pieces and is lucky to have her insanely talented husband, Derek, by her side, bringing her visions to life, one custom build at a time.
After 12 years rewinding industrial-size motors and spending cherished time as a stay-at-home mom, Sarah followed her passion and founded Patina in 2016, starting out of a small shed in her backyard. Since then, her dedication and eye for detail have transformed Patina into the beautifully curated company it is today.
Derek
founder / builder
Bursting with creativity, an outdoor enthusiast, and proud dad to Beckham and Daxtyn, Derek is the powerhouse behind Patina Rental & Design. With a deep love for crafting beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces, Derek brings any vision to life with his incredible carpentry skills.
His passion for building started early, working side by side with his grandpa in his wood shop, a foundation that shaped his talent and dedication to the craft.
After 17 years as an electrician, Derek jumped in to help turn his wife’s “crazy idea” into what is now Patina, and he couldn’t be prouder. Today, he’s grateful to work alongside Sarah, creating unique, hand-built pieces and unforgettable spaces together, doing what they love, as a team.
