RichardRogersMagdalena, New Mexico

Though he’ll tell you he’s only been seriously designing for four years, his extensive list of awards dating back to ‘97 paint a different story. Richard Rogers is modest as modest comes, creating some of the simplest, most practical everyday carry folders in the industry. When he’s not at the bench, he’s at the helm of a working cattle ranch out in the arid shrublands of the southwest. His life both as a rancher and a designer are governed by one serious principle: “good enough” isn’t acceptable. We’re on board.
