Food for
Thought Truck

Food for Thought Truck is a mobile studio and social outreach program that channels Studio O+A’s pragmatic, experimental spirit into a compact, project‑driven vehicle. Designed to be austerely functional yet ever‑playful, the truck sparks creativity among young designers while “giving back” after years of studio practice—traveling across California to engage local stakeholders in site‑specific projects. Part co‑working lab, part design crusade and radical art studio, its itinerary explores how thoughtful, low‑barrier design can be a force for good in communities where it’s rarely been a factor.
