Our path
& story

After quitting tech to reconnect with why I got into designing for the human experience in the first place, I founded Path & Story as a way to share truly seeing San Francisco in all its raw forms with others.

I’m new to offering tours professionally, though I’ve been guiding friends around these city streets for a decade.
