Founding principal at 7Story and producer of Enlightened Spaces, Lisa weaves together her love of story, art and design with her long-standing commitment to authentic community engagement.

Prior to launching 7Story in 2009, Lisa was marketing director for MKThink, a San Francisco architecture and design firm, following 20 years in management positions and as a consultant for non-profit and public sector organizations doing marketing, communications, community engagement and fundraising.

As a consultant for her own company, Z-Communications, she worked with over 40 social service, cultural, and educational organizations in the Bay Area and beyond, including Bay Area Discovery Museum, Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, San Francisco Unified School District, San Francisco Department of Children, Youth and Their Families, Goodwill Industries, Eden Housing, Marin County Free Library and UCSF.

Lisa has received grants from the Marin Arts Council and California Council for the Humanities.

Brian has partnered with Lisa for over ten years and is a creative force that refuses to be confined to any one discipline. With a 30-year career as a graphic designer, he is also a painter and photographer with a studio at the Hunters Point Shipyard.

A key feature of his work is community participation, particularly with youth. His three-story Teen Art Quilt, created by 100 students for the Solano County Department of Public Health, has traveled the country. He is currently leading an art initiative with over 50 children in Hunters Point to create a mural and revitalize the Hunters Point Youth Park.

Brian is founder/director of the Pigman Gallery, an alternative art gallery that has shown Hunters Point artists Joe Sam, Kay Kang, Kathy Voutyras and Malik Seneferu; animal rights activist and artist Sue Coe; ten year old Ryan Trumpler; Burning Man sculptors Laura Kimpton and Jeff Schomberg; and multicultural painter Elly Simmons, among others.

Since 2004 Brian has directed his own creative design firm, 499 Commute. Leading teams of graphic designers, writers, photographers, fine artists and digital artists, he has developed marketing and public engagement projects for clients such as Goodwill Industries, Solano County Department of Public Health, San Francisco Department of Children Youth and Their Families, Walter and Elise Haas Fund and AIDS Project Los Angeles.
