We are a team of multidisciplinary designers who advance the structure and psychology of wayfinding. We share a commitment to high standards in design, professionalism, and project delivery. Drawing on our backgrounds in visual communication, interior, architectural, and industrial design, we question, innovate, study best practices, share knowledge, and remain open to new approaches to our practice.

Our backgrounds and interests vary, but the same goal brings us to work each day: giving life to the stories of our projects.

Clearstory cultivates a positive, connected, open studio atmosphere. Having worked closely together over the course of many projects and years, we appreciate one another’s strengths and champion each individual's personal growth and responsibility. We encourage a healthy life/work balance and lighthearted atmosphere, thereby supporting the long-term well-being of our staff and the firm. We celebrate birthdays and work anniversaries. We have quarterly group events and excursions in and around the San Francisco Bay Area such as sailing on the Bay, crafting terrariums, attending Giants baseball games, and competing in bocce ball. We also support the yearly LEAP Sandcastle Classic on Ocean Beach.
