Current Projects & Installations
![]() San Francisco Children & Nature
Since 2018 I've been part of the Nature Connection Design team for San Francisco Children & Nature, a cross-sector collaborative of over 30 government agencies, non-profit institutions, and community-based organizations striving to ensure that every child has opportunities to play, learn and grow in nature. One of our projects has been to develop design criteria and collaborate in creating Nature Exploration Areas such as this one at Heron's Head Park and this one at Rolph-Nicol Park. Learn more in this report on our first three years' work. ![]() Sand Globes Worldwide
