A new identity for a Berkeley institution where music and learning meet.

Inspired by Scottish monograms, a nod to founder Anne Crowden, and the expressive shapes of classical music notation.

The identity came together around a new brand position: Learning in Harmony.

A visual system built around what makes Crowden special: individuality and ensemble, melody and structure, music and learning.

Bringing the new Crowden identity to life across every part of the brand.

A pretty rendering is easy.

Communicating how something feels to be inside of is the actual job.

Yann Taylor said this about designing spaces at our SF Design Week panel — but swap “building” for “product,” “brand,” or “company” and it holds completely.

We over-invest in the object and under-invest in the experience around it. It’s worth asking which one you’re actually selling.

“My best ideas come from patients telling me what’s wrong.”

This quote stayed with us after our SF Design Week panel last week.

So much of design starts with identifying problems. And some of the most meaningful innovation happens when people are willing to listen carefully to frustration and unmet needs. Dr. Thalia Segal talked about building Collab Fertility by listening closely to what patients were frustrated by in traditional fertility care.

Better communication, more support, and more human connection.

That’s one of the things we love about design. It’s about listening, and if you pay attention, people will often tell you exactly where the opportunity is.

We’ve all held onto a product way longer than we should have. (I still have my first iPod.)

At our SF Design Week event, Jay Baik put words to something important: people don’t always bond with products because they’re shiny or new. They bond because a product showed up when it mattered... and didn’t leave.

Grateful to Jay and everyone who showed up for this conversation — and to SF Design Week for creating the space for it. More coming.

What’s the moment that will matter for your product?

Beautiful evening at Pier 24 with the SF Design Week community.

Great conversations, inspiring work, and one of the most stunning gallery spaces in the city. A huge thank you to for bringing everyone together and creating such a thoughtful experience.

We’re especially grateful to have been part of ‘s 20th anniversary year.

Thank you SF Design Week for having us.

Yesterday reminded us why we love bringing people from different disciplines together.

On paper, fertility care, architecture, and product innovation don’t have much in common. But throughout the evening, the same themes kept resurfacing: designing for complexity, understanding human behavior, and creating experiences that serve many different needs at once.

Thank you to Dr. Thalia Segal of Collab Fertility, Yann Taylor of Field Paoli Architects, and Jay Baik for such a thoughtful conversation. We covered everything from fertility care and community building to mixed-use developments, product research, and the challenge of designing systems that hold multiple perspectives without falling apart.

One of my favorite parts of the event was what happened after the panel ended. People stayed, talked, shared ideas, and made connections. That’s always the goal!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our event.
