My name's Brandon. I am a designer at the San Francisco architecture firm of David Baker and Partners, and am a design and fashion addict. I run a blog called DesignCrack.com which is my hub for all things heavy in the design world.
DesignCrack is meant to be a fun place to store my design digging. I'm always looking for inspiration, and I do this by exploring the city, the web, other cities, looking for things I find beautiful or fascinating.
