Hello from Joan!

Hello! My name is spelled Joan, but you can call me Joann. I am the new Sales Associate at Rare Device. I graduated from San Francisco State University in 2013 with a BA in Studio Art, with an emphasis in printmaking and textiles. I use my own photographs in a lot of my work. My artwork captures the fragility of places, memories, and personal moments. I am especially interested in finding and exploring beauty in the ordinary.

Lately, I’ve been really into urban sketching. I love taking my lunch break in Alamo Square Park to admire the view and sketch when I have time. 

I very much enjoy working here at Rare Device. I am surrounded by awesome people and in a short amount of time, I’ve learned so much about an independent business, local artists, and most of all, unique and beautiful products. Here are some of my favorites:
