Living and working in San Francisco, Donna uses visual language, illustrations and strategic design to bring ideas into reality.

Donna’s love for public spaces has lead her to pursue projects that prioritize people and the environment they inhabit. These projects have varied in type and scale - from masterplan proposals, guidelines and recommendation packages, tactical urban implementation - but they all focus on people at the center

In 2021, she launched SCARF-SCARF, a garment/scarf project that focuses of the duality of language between food and architecture. Her book, SCARF SCARF: An Exploration on the Duality of Language Between Food & Architecture is out now and available for purchase.
