We’re a couple of designers living and working on the road.

In March of 2016, we gave up our San Francisco apartment, quit our full-time jobs, sold our belongings and hit the road in our rig (Red Zeppelin) with all the essentials—bikes, boards, boots, and beer. Since then we’ve been exploring North America, from San Francisco up to Alaska and down into Mexico.

We are grateful for every adventure and every person we meet along the way. This blog is our best effort to share our experiences. Feel free to send us suggestions or just say hey at hello@northboundanddown.com
