About
Cody Kautz is a graphic designer, artist, photographer and outdoor enthusiast. Influenced by a daring mountain guide father, and a hardworking emergency flight-nurse mother, Cody has learned to test the line between pulse-elevating adventure and necessary precaution. When you can’t find him behind his computer, he is most likely scaling a mountain or paddling through waves, usually with a camera in his hand, always with a smile on his face.
Cody attended California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California and received a degree in Art and Design.
Question and Answer:
What do you enjoy most about design?
I enjoy tackling challenges, and exploring the balance and interaction of visual aesthetics and intuitive function.

What is your dream pet?
Bernese Mountain Dog, unless a grizzly bear becomes a safe and responsible choice.
Favorite Meal?
Pad Thai
What is your favorite childhood memory?
Wading through chest deep mud, in my underwear, in a 600’ deep slot canyon, with a backpack and camera gear held above my head. You can thank the mountain guide father for that one.
