About

Hey, I’m Santiago, I usually go by Santi. I’m a designer living in San Francisco, and I’m all about designing bags that solve a problem, look good, and are built to last. A lot of my work comes from what I love outside of it: surfing, hiking, and staying active. That stuff keeps me grounded and helps me design with a little more soul.

I studied Industrial Design at SCAD, then stuck around for a master’s in Accessory Design. Since then, I’ve worked with some cool brands like Ralph Lauren, Thule, PVH, and TUMI. Right now, I’m a Senior Softgoods Designer at Peak Design, and I also do freelance work with clients who want that same thoughtful approach.

If you want to say hi or talk shop, drop me a line at santibaston@gmail.com. I’ll probably write back with a surf report.
