Begin Slideshow

One of the most talented designers residing in San Francisco, shoemaker Martha Davis is loved locally and beyond for her functional-yet-mega-fashionable footwear line. Naturally, Davis’ Hayes Valley workspace is equally awesome. To show you where all the magic happens (well, here and at a factory outside of Venice that also makes shoes for Chanel and Chloé!), we visited Davis in her super-cool workspace. Take a look at her artful interiors—plus loads of shoe porn!—and get inspired.!
