Folder Dev
Folder is a Los Angeles based design practice working with museums, universities, publishers, and design-led organizations on identities, publications, and digital systems shaped by the spirit of their materials. We focus on projects rooted in archives, collections, and complex bodies of content—translating them into enduring systems that reveal new possibilities within the material.
