Hibiscus Studio was founded in 2002 by

Jennifer Serwer as an art and design practice. This San Francisco studio’s work springs from a diversity of inter- ests, and is inspired by how we live with and in our cul- tural and natural habitat. The studio’s process explores a variety of materials and methods. It practices resource- fulness, lightness, observation, curiosity, and integrity. Jennifer’s experience working and studying as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mali, West Africa and as a college student in Nepal with the University of Wisconsin filled her heart with laughter, challenge, beauty and creativ- ity. These opportunities stimulated her to study the built environment as a student at California College of the Arts. After finishing her Architectural Degree, she founded Hibiscus Studio a multi-disciplinary design and art practice in 2002. The studio’s name derives from the Hibiscus Sabdariffa, a useful, versatile and beautiful flowering plant that is grown in Mali. Jennifer has experimented with clothing, painting and sculpture. Her work has been selected for shows such as “On The Make” at 364 Ha yes Gallery and the venue Residents Apparel Gallery, RAG.

Jennifer has worked on a range of building and land- scape types and scales, for the last 17 years in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The primary drivers of the studio’s ethos are celebrating the habitats of the California, Bay Area, providing leadership through design and community place making. The studio’s ob- jective is to intensify the urban environment for better livability, and improve habitats for all. Hibiscus Studio’s process aims to balance beauty, sustainability, func- tionality, and future maintenance while maximizing the client’s budget.

Innovation, sustainability, community, ecology and technology will continue as the focus of the studio as it explores design, art, landscape, and materials in a variety of forms.
