‘Saying that Michael Leon has been influential to the worlds of both design and skateboarding – and design within skateboarding – would be an understatement. While still in high school, he designed his first pro model board for New Deal. In the years since, his distinct style and… well… wisdom when it comes to his craft, have put him in a class all his own. His artwork has been exhibited internationally in numerous exhibitions. He was a co-creator of Commonwealth Stacks, Rasa Libre, and Nike’s Tech Pack. He has contributed design and art direction to Fourstar Clothing, Girl Skateboards, Stussy, DC, Arkitip, and most recently, Nike SB. Michael’s work will forever be cemented in time as one of the most admired and imitated of this century.’- Bob Kronbauer Michael Leon was born in 1974 in Tampa, Florida. He graduated from CalArts in 1997. He is currently based in Portland, Oregon. Photo by Chad Kula. From the sequence ‘LA River Fall (After Bas Jan Ader)’.

D Calen Knauf and Conrad Brown are designers based in Vancouver, Canada. Their many years of friendship have lead to the studio and partnership they now call Knauf and Brown. The pair met through skateboarding in 2001 and have been exchanging opinions on shapes, colors, and textures ever since. The rarity of their collaboration shows when discussing the final results of a project–in most cases it is impossible to point out which element of a design came from which mind. Knauf and Brown have an unnatural obsession with studying the spaces and objects that surround life. Both partners bring strong aesthetic experience from image-based practices, Calen coming from a graphic design background, and Conrad working in photography. They place a huge importance on knowing how to balance practicality with beauty, and when to prioritize one over the other. For the duo, the relationship between function and form is complex and ever changing.

Joey Roth designs products to articulate the beauty of everyday rituals. He combines simple functionality with honest, unfinished materials that become more personal as they take on a patina of use. He’s especially interested in designing tools for ephemeral experiences like tea and music. Joey was born in 1984 in San Francisco and grew up in Montclair, NJ. He graduated from Swarthmore in 2006 with a BA in Industrial Design Theory. His favorite musicians are the Dirty Projectors and Ghostface Killah, and his favorite authors are George R.R. Martin and Haruki Murakami. When taking a break from design, he likes long-distance skateboarding and cooking with kale. Beliefs and practices: Make products that push boundaries now and remain valuable for years. Bake sustainability into the product’s function, materials, and life cycle; sustainability should never be an end in itself. Recognize that both irony and beauty are crutches for bad design. Never put a design into production if I wouldn’t want my grandparents to use it every day.
