Aiko Designs is now listed on the Mission Artists United directory.  With such a large concentration of artists in the Mission District of San Francisco, it’s great that there is a place to find the artists and studios spread throughout the district — check out their map here — it’s a great tool for the upcoming Spring Mission Open Studios later in April. Hope to see you there!
