About
I'm a cajun, colorblind product designer from Louisiana currently living in San Francisco, CA. You'll mostly find me on my road bike, carving linoleum blocks for printing, or wandering the Mission for another burrito.
Cypress Design Co. is a printmaking shop that I run. Original prints are all done by hand—they're carved from linoleum, colors are mixed by eye, and are hand pressed and pulled. Most are inspired by nature, others are just rad stuff I wanted to work on with friends.
I currently run the Design team (Product Design, Brand, Creative, and Research) at Nav. We're responsibly for everything from product strategy to the public website to the logos and customer videos you see for Nav.
Let's grab a coffee some time. If you're in SF, hit me up. Otherwise, feel free to schedule something.
Side Projects
Hand carved and hand pulled linoleum block prints. Nature and mountain inspired—many are topographic relief maps of regions that hold a special place in customers' hearts.
