Common Space is a New York based art and design studio founded by Jon Santos who received

his BFA in 2000 from the California College of the Arts. Much of his design work is the

counterpart of his involvement with local music communities beginning in Detroit (1991) to San

Francisco (1994) and currently in New York. He is currently a visiting instructor in the

Communications Design department and Pratt Institute of the Arts (Brooklyn, NY) and has

extensive work experience in print, web and broadcast media.
