The new start in San Francisco found the ambitious designer
immediately joining the world famous Podesta Baldocchi,
the nation's oldest floral design studio, where he went
from staff designer to general manager in less than a
year. It's here that Robert really made a name for himself.
At his first major event,
the San Francisco Ballet's 65th anniversary opening night
gala in 1998, he incorporated many different layers to
the event taking the opening night to new levels. The
beauty of this prestigious event launched him into the
world of event design and, in 1999, Robert started his
own event design company.
He started his own company because, as a designer, he
saw that there was a disconnect between the designer and
the client. "I wanted to bridge that gap and be the
only contact with the client thus keeping the integrity
of the event true and honest". Achieving that goal,
Robert has created a successful company that is unique
in handling all aspects of the event, managing and directing
every detail. |

"What's unusual about my company is
that we are a design company that produces and coordinates". |

Robert Fountain has designed dozens of major events, a
sign of the lasting relationships he builds that are repeat
performances. Robert remains the only event designer in
San Francisco history to do all three opening night Galas
in the same season. The fall of 2003 saw him design the
opening night gala's for both the San Francisco Symphony
and Opera within days of each other.
Traveling the country designing and creating imaginative
events for both private individuals and corporate clients,
appearing on numerous local and national TV shows as a
design and lifestyle expert and making frequent personal
appearances, this Southern boy has come a long way. But
despite minimalist trends, Robert remains true to his
southern roots. The alluring beauty of the southern flowers
that first ignited his passion still play an integral
part of his distinctive designs today. Luckily for his
clients, you can take the boy out of Georgia but you can't
take Georgia out the boy. |
