Last week, students from the department of Design visited six San Francisco design firms. The field trip was arranged by SEGD (Society for Experiential Graphic Design), and included visits to:

Media Objectives at VDTA
Gensler
Kate Keating Associates
Volume, Inc.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP
Rapt Studio

Each firm introduced their designers, gave a presentation about their work and philosophy, and provided an opportunity for students to tour workspaces and ask questions. We would like to give thanks to SEGD, Danielle Lindsay, Tim Huey, Ellen Bean for their efforts in organizing, as well as all of the above design firms who took the time to share their worlds with us. Special thanks to Julie and Randy Merk for their financial support, which helped make this trip possible. We learned so much and had a wonderful time.
