Michael Osborne was one of the speakers at the HOW Design Conference and I felt very inspired by seeing some of his work. This is a video that chronicles the “Hearts In San Francisco” project that he was very involved in.

The financial beneficiary of Hearts in San Francisco was the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation, whose sole purpose is to fund projects that will enhance patient care and comfort at San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center.

Osborne also designed a love stamp for the US Postal Service. Check out some more (sort of blurry!) slides from his presentation on the next page.
