Stamen is a design studio based in San Francisco, California, that specializes in data visualization. Its projects serve a diverse set of clients, including National Geographic, MTV, Microsoft, Exploratorium, SFMOMA, Facebook, Google, and OpenStreetMap, among others. The firm's aim is to transform complex data into accessible visuals that support storytelling, public engagement, and informed decision-making. The studio actively builds and contributes to open source software projects, a core aspect of its practice. It operates as a small to mid-sized team and has work in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, reflecting its design significance. In early 2026, Stamen began developing a prototype curb-regulation map for the City of Boston in collaboration with the city's Office of Emerging Technology, illustrating its engagement with urban data visualization.
