California is the world's most exciting design community. We have a legacy of innovation, boldness, and respect for nature that continues to set new standards in our industry. In the wake of massive social, behavioral, and environmental change, we believe the unique qualities of our region are needed more than ever.  For 45 years, Frederick Fisher & Partners has asked, "what defines a California design firm?" In that time, we've developed a shared language and ethos that reflects our personal experience and reverence for California, resulting in a deep legacy of work across cultural, academic, residential, and commercial clients.  

In this conversation, Design Partners Matthew Kelley and Taka Ikawa will discuss what inspired them to pursue and embrace the California design ethos, how that ethos translates into meaningful operational and design strategies, and why these matter as designers work to solve the 21st century's greatest challenges.
