Designed in California

Designed in California showcased the evolution of human-centered and sociologically conscious design and its relationship to California. Objects were presented in reverse chronological order, highlighting thematic clusters along the way. The works on view varied dramatically in scale (think UP wrist band health monitor to The North Face tent), demanding a display solution that allowed each object to be equally accessible visually and also protected the pieces.

Merit Award 2020
The Sea Ranch: Architecture, Environment, and Idealism

Conceived by a small group of Bay Area architects and designers in the early 1960s, The Sea Ranch development was envisioned as a progressive inclusive community, guided by the idealistic principles of good design, economy of space, and harmony with the natural environment. The Sea Ranch: Architecture, Environment, and Idealism illuminates these ideals through a wide array of drawings, photographs, models, and an ambitious 1:1 scale reproduction of Unit 9 from the first condominium constructed on the site.

SFMOMA: Identity and Placemaking

Finalist 2018
The New San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: Identity and Placemaking

The building identification provides a visual presence for the museum within the surrounding cityscape. Large-scale exterior signage was added to the two main entrances not just to increase visibility of the entrances, but to provide a visual link between the faces of two architecturally distinctive buildings with entrances on different streets. A warm red logo was installed on the new white façade on Howard Street and a white logo was placed on the existing warm red brick façade on Third Street.
