  Richmond Interactive Art/Downtown Rejuvenation Project (current)
Conceptualized and developed by 7Story in partnership with the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, this interactive artwork designed by internationally-acclaimed media artist Scott Snibbe aims to increase economic development, community engagement and civic pride for downtown Richmond, CA. To be located in the storefront windows of the newly renovated Winters Building, a series of media screens will capture the motions of people on the street and enable passersby to interact with images of youth from the East Bay Center performing dance and rhythms. The project is funded by a National Endowment for the Arts "Our Town" grant (proposal written by 7Story) and the City of Richmond.
Yerba Buena Living Wall
When San Francisco's Yerba Buena Community Benefit District put out a call for projects, 7Story proposed a living wall that would showcase the area as a nexus of public art, creative greening and urban design. Created in partnership with internationally acclaimed designer Paul Kephart (known for the living roof at Academy of Sciences), the artwork is a living sculpture featuring over 10,000 seedlings. It is the first living wall in downtown San Francisco and is the result of our work engaging local organizations, businesses and neighbors. It is located at 12 Gallagher Lane, San Francisco.
 Canal District Wellness Mural
The courtyard of the new Marin Health & Wellness Campus in San Rafael, CA, offered a peaceful, zen-like experience. However, a key constituency was the Latino community, where the cultural preference is for bold, bright colors and relevant storytelling. The Marin Arts Council selected artist Elly Simmons, in partnership with 7Story, to create a public art mural reflecting this identity. The project has been so successful that 7Story has been asked by the Marin Board of Supervisors to manage the production of a second mural, including community engagement, artist selection, design and implementation.
 UCSF Interactive Patient Learning Project (current)
UCSF, the Exploratorium and 7Story are collaborating to create this interactive digital installation that will engage patients in the science of cancer. Designed as an educational pilot, the project will be eventually be located in the lobby of the future Cancer Hospital at Mission Bay. 7Story helped conceptualize the project for UCSF’s Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and is responsible for gathering patient input through focus groups and other means.
Bay Area Discovery Museum Community Research
During the design of a new exhibition, the Bay Area Discovery Museum wanted to understand how traditionally underrepresented communities would relate to their concepts. 7Story conducted outreach and facilitated focus groups (in multiple languages) with adults and children from several distinct neighborhoods. Our report and recommendations not only informed design but also enabled the museum to garner substantial new funding.
 Goodwill Industries Branded Environment
When Goodwill decided to open a new store in the Fillmore District of San Francisco, it needed to incorporate the local community. We had already created the organization's graphic identity, so it was easy to incorporate local residents into our super-sized environmental graphics.
 SF AIDS Foundation Branded Environment
Undergoing a rebranding process, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation wanted to redesign its lobby to reflect its new identity and messaging. Using a mix of archival images and commissioned contemporary art, we developed a new visitor experience that combined the Foundation’s impressive past with inspiring future.
 Chabot Courtyard Activation
The Chabot Space and Science Center was exploring ideas for activating its obsolete courtyard. Working in partnership with exhibit designer West Office, we helped to gather constituent input and develop concepts. Our findings are helping to shape the organization’s strategic planning process.
