On the corner of 25th and Mission Streets, my crew and I asked 100 people ten questions about food and farming. We designed and hung four bilingual murals showing the answers.

You Can't Do It Alone
Creative Work Fund

Together with collaborators Super Natural Design, writer Laurie Wagner and the Margie Cherry Complementary Breast Health Center, we created a breast health awareness transit poster campaign shown in Hunters Point, a neighborhood that suffers from one of the highest rates of the disease in the country.
Tagline: “Live life. Get checked for breast cancer.”

Victory Gardens 2009+
Garden for the Environment and futurefarmers

SF Victory Gardens, funded by the City of San Francisco supports the transition of backyard, front yard, window boxes, rooftops, and unused land into organic food production areas. It builds on the successful Victory Garden programs of WWI and WWII but redefines "Victory" in the pressing context of urban sustainability.

Freewheelin' Farm
Santa Cruz
California

Freewheelin’ Farm grows organic produce on a dramatic piece of California coast and delivers it by bicycle into Santa Cruz. Every fall, I participate in their fundraiser, doing my part to keep the tractor tires and bicycle wheels turning. One year, I rigged a “Thank-a-Farmer” clothesline for folks to make Tibetan-style prayer flags.
