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 project that focuses of the duality of language between food and architecture. She is currently working on a book of the same name and will be available Fall 2024.
