Mac Cormier’s workspace

Mac Cormier is a design lead at Square and runs an independent print studio called Cypress Design Co.

His workspace is a collection of industrially purposed furniture: a workbench, a tool cabinet, and a stool. During typical work hours it functions as a desk with a laptop and keyboard—but outside of the old 9-5, it’s a carving bench, a drawing space or a full printing line. Keeping it minimal makes it easy to swap out the tools for the space’s current needs. The prints shown are a backdrop for calls and come from friends around the industry: Camille Villanueva, InkyCatPrints, and Studio Tokek.
