My name is Donna Mena, and I am a San Francisco-based urban designer passionate about people, spaces, and everything that connects us. I’ve worked on several projects over the years with some of my favorites listed below.

While pursuing my master's at CCA, one of my studio projects sought to convert a waterpark-turn campus in the Mojave Desert. While working at Gehl, I was on the community outreach team for the project Reimagine Hillsdale. I also created a garment project called SCARF-SCARF, and several other fun projects including a Shared Spaces Parklet, and the Bus Stop Bench Project (BBP). I am currently working on Car-Free Streets: California Ave in The City of Palo Alto.

I also make some pretty cool illustrations, see for yourself.
