As Centuori notes, “I formed our design and art studio, “UrbanRock Design” in 2000, shortly after we moved to Los Angeles. We decided to create a vision for our work, and then seek that work in whatever means possible. Our vision was to be able to work closely with communities towards the creation of public art and design projects that expressed their shared values. ”
