Patricia’s view of Mid Century design and lifestyle is summed up by this quote by architect William Krisel, “Mid Century Modernism is not a style, it’s a language. It stays the same whether it’s spoken in 1955 or 2005. It’s a language that will always be spoken.” Patricia and her husband, Scott, owned a Herman Miller commercial furniture dealership in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than 20 years. The dealership introduced them to the world of mid century design and it was love at first sight. Patricia was also a public relations and marketing executive in Silicon Valley and in Los Angeles for more than ten years. She currently is co-owner with her husband of a commercial photography business in San Francisco. Scott and Patricia live in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, which is home to some of the most interesting and creative people in San Francisco. Their neighborhood blog, indogpatch, features Patricia’s interviews and Scott’s photos of these interesting individuals.
