If you start in the Bay Area, this is what I get:
I think these districts make a lot of sense - obviously you have the SF district, then a blue-collar(-ish) peninsula district in cyan (41% white, 31% Asian, 21% Hispanic). Next I drew the blue-gray district to be 55% Asian. Fitting nicely around that is the pink district, which takes the heart of Silicon Valley from Menlo Park to Santa Clara and Los Gatos - very wealthy (other than East Palo Alto), 54% white, 22% Asian, 17% Hispanic. The light green district takes in what's left of Santa Clara County, which essentially is all of the heavily Hispanic parts, plus some extras - not enough for a majority, but it's 41% Hispanic, 35% white, 19% Asian. The coastal tan district goes down to Monterrey & Big Sur - it makes a lot of sense to stick Half Moon Bay in there rather than stick other parts of Santa Clara county in with a Central Valley district.
The yellow district connects as much of the minority areas as possible in the East Bay without being ridiculous: 30 white 22 black 20 Asian 24 Hispanic. One East Bay district has to go inland, due to the numbers, so I made it the teal one.
