Wild Child Playspace

Wild Child is an interactive children's play space and art experience in Oakland that transports kids and parents through portals into a fantasy world of interactive art, making, and play. Designed in collaboration with many local artists and artisans, the project celebrates color, whimsy, and scale — building a layered environment where every zone invites a different kind of discovery.

Brave's role

Brave worked alongside Sara Alexander (The Scale Collective), Ligaya Tichy, Dylan Hosey (Jupitr Studios), and Megan Rae Hannon (Rae & Heath Architects) to develop the concepts and overall plan, then carried each play area from sketch into 3D development, shop drawings, and build-ready plans for Jupitr's fabrication team. Brian led the live design sessions that kept collaboration tight across designers, artists, and fabricators — producing renders that aligned the ground plan with every team member before anything was built.

Collaborators: Concept and interior design lead by Sara Alexander of The Scale Collective. Fabrication and build by Jupitr Studios. Additional collaboration with Megan and featured artists including Sofie Ramos and local makers. Images courtesy of The Scale Collective.

“Working with Brian and the BRAVE team was like adding a design superpower to our project. They didn't just support our vision — they amplified it. Their ability to fill in execution gaps — through visualizations, prototyping, and thoughtful design development made them indispensable.”
