Hey, I'm Mac.


I’m based in SF now, but am proud of my Cajun Louisiana roots. I lead product and design teams by day and spend much of my free time making things by hand. I run Cypress, an independent print studio where I self-publish a travel and climate magazine and carve linoleum blocks inspired by places I’ve driven through or hiked. When not working, you'll usually find me road tripping through national parks, cycling, snowboarding, or scuba diving.


Professionally, I’ve built financial and credit products for small businesses — from leading cash flow and banking tools at Square to serving as the Chief Product Officer at Nav. I’m drawn to durable systems, strong teams, and products people rely on every day.


I’m colorblind, which has always been part of how I see the world and approach design (think of it as a built in accessibility measure). I’m especially drawn to the details in nature and find my inspiration outdoors, in the swirling bark of a bristlecone pine tree, the meandering layers of Sierra granite, or the swaying of giant kelp forests. A deep belief in conservation runs through much of my personal work, centered on protecting the landscapes and ecosystems that shape us.


If you’re ever in San Francisco, let’s grab a coffee.
