Dogpatch is a vibrant neighborhood located between Potrero Hill and the bay that is approximately a nine square block area bounded by Mariposa Street to the North, Tubbs Street (23rd) to the South, Highway 280 to the West, and Illinois Street to the East. This neighborhood was once a shipbuilding center dating back to the 1800s and owes its origins to the working class, however, the neighborhood currently preserves an industrial vibe with several of its buildings being turned into residential lofts, bars, restaurants, galleries, and shops. Dogpatch contains architecturally and historically significant workers' cottages, factories, warehouses and public buildings constructed between 1860 and 1945-- most of which are unknown due to the rapid industrialization of the area and lack of access to information. Nowadays, it’s easy to see many San Francisco residents and tourists visit the endless bars and restaurants that have taken over the area.

María SolísMaría Camila Solís, a Colombian-born Industrial Designer currently living in San Francisco, CA. While living in Colombia, I discovered the intersection between Interaction and Industrial Design, and as a result fell in love with the tangible components of user experiences. My passion for the aesthetic aspect of products, and awareness of them as components of bigger systems, led me to join the Industrial Design program at California College of the Arts. |
