My name is Donna Mena, and I am a San Francisco-based urban designer passionate about people, spaces, and everything that connects us.

While pursuing my master's at CCA I converted a waterpark into a not-so-secretive tech campus in the Mojave Desert. When I worked at Gehl, I was on the community outreach team for the project Reimagine Hillsdale. I also run a scarf bu$ine$$ called SCARF-SCARF, on top of other cool projects I’ve created, including a Shared Spaces Parklet for a nail salon, and Placemaker Composer, an archive of San Francisco sound bites over the years.

Did I mention I’m also an illustrator? Check it out for yourself.
