From Minnesota’s Iron Range, Cody Paulson is a local artist, designer, and Co-Director of Graphic Science. His professional background includes work as a printing press operator, community newspaper designer, and design director at Swim Creative. He later served as Senior Designer at Malley Design in Minneapolis before returning to Duluth to co-found Graphic Science in spring 2020.
Paulson also started Port City Supply, a project focused on documenting Duluth’s architectural and industrial heritage. This work renewed his interest in fine art and deepened his focus on formal visual qualities. He went on to create large-scale acrylic paintings, working outside the constraints of commercial design. These works have been exhibited in galleries and shops throughout the Duluth area.
