ABOUT JEFF & LISA

Two lifetimes of experience.
One business built together.

Hawk Design Depot started with an idea Lisa refused to let stay an idea.

Lisa saw the potential in the work Jeff was creating and believed it could become something bigger. She pushed the idea forward, helped shape the vision, and continues building the retail side of the company while Jeff develops the creative, professional, and storytelling side.

HOW HAWK DESIGN DEPOT BEGAN

It began with Lisa seeing the business before there was a business.

Hawk Design Depot did not begin with a polished business plan, a storefront, or a finished website.

It began with Lisa recognizing that the books, websites, videos, design work, photography, property-inspection experience, and original ideas Jeff was creating could become something larger.

She encouraged the work, challenged Jeff to take the ideas seriously, and pushed the concept beyond individual projects. Today, Lisa is actively developing the storefront and merchandise side of Hawk Design Depot while Jeff focuses on design, video production, writing, commercial property services, photography, and creative development.

Lisa did not simply support Hawk Design Depot. The idea for the business was hers, and her belief in what it could become is one of the reasons it exists.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE HAWK

Different careers. Different strengths. One shared direction.

MEET LISA

Thirty-eight years of nursing experience—and a lifetime of understanding people.

Lisa brings 38 years of experience as a registered nurse to Hawk Design Depot. Much of her career has been spent specializing in psychiatric nursing, working in environments where patience, communication, observation, judgment, and understanding people are essential.

A nursing career teaches lessons that extend far beyond healthcare. It teaches you how to listen, how to remain steady when situations become complicated, how to make thoughtful decisions, and how to recognize that every person comes with a different story and different needs.

Lisa brings that perspective to the business every day. She is also helping build BLUE HAWX and the Hawk Design Depot storefront, evaluating merchandise, shaping the customer side of the brand, and helping decide how the business grows from here.

MEET JEFF

Operations experience with a creative side that never stayed quiet.

Jeff Hauck Sr. has spent much of his professional career solving practical problems through facilities management, operations, safety, project development, commercial property inspections, vendor management, and capital planning.

That work taught him how to manage complicated projects, communicate clearly, control budgets, solve unexpected problems, and bring work to completion.

But creativity has always been part of the picture. Jeff is also an author, photographer, musician, storyteller, website developer, designer, and video creator. Hawk Design Depot became the place where those different parts of his experience could finally work together.

YEARS ON THE ROAD

Inspections took Jeff across the country. Photography taught him to really see it.

For years, Jeff's work required extensive travel conducting inspections and working with properties across the United States—from Washington State to New Jersey and countless places in between.

Those trips exposed him to different communities, landscapes, buildings, neighborhoods, people, and ways of life.

Real places became part of the creative toolbox. Whenever time allowed, Jeff photographed what caught his attention: nature, wildlife, landscapes, architecture, everyday scenes, and street photography. Sometimes the subject was dramatic. Sometimes it was something most people might walk past without noticing.

Over time, photography became another way of learning to observe. That habit of looking closely at light, expressions, surroundings, details, and moments influences Jeff's writing, video work, and visual creativity today.

A writer has to notice things. A photographer does too.
WHAT WE EACH BRING

Experience from two very different professional worlds.

Lisa — People & Perspective

Nearly four decades in nursing, psychiatric-care experience, communication, judgment, patience, customer perspective, and the drive behind turning Hawk Design Depot into a real business.

Jeff — Operations & Creativity

Facilities, inspections, project management, writing, photography, websites, branding, video production, music, and creative direction.

Together — Follow-Through

Different strengths, shared standards, and a willingness to keep improving an idea until it becomes something real, useful, and worth putting their name on.

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

Hawk Design Depot is intentionally broader than a traditional design company.

It is a place where professional experience, creative work, original products, stories, and new ideas can live under one roof.

The company is still growing, and that is part of the story. Jeff and Lisa are building it piece by piece: a new website, a new video, a new book, a new product, a better idea.

Sometimes the next project starts with Jeff saying, “What if we tried this?” Sometimes it starts with Lisa saying, “Why aren't we doing this already?” Somewhere between those two questions, another part of Hawk Design Depot usually gets built.

Creative Services Website design, branding, graphics, business materials, and digital creative work.
Video Production Commercials, promotional content, original entertainment, social video, and AI-assisted visual storytelling.
Commercial Property Services Commercial property inspections and facility-condition work backed by years of real-world facilities experience.
The Story Wing Fiction, memoir, children's stories, and original books by Jeff Hauck Sr.
BLUE HAWX Original apparel, merchandise, accessories, and lifestyle products with Lisa helping lead the storefront and retail side of the brand.
LOUISIANA ROOTS

Built from experience. Built around family.

Jeff grew up in St. Bernard Parish, and today Jeff and Lisa call Louisiana's Northshore home.

Those roots show up throughout the business—in the humor, the storytelling, the practical approach, the willingness to improvise when necessary, and the belief that business can still feel personal.

Hawk Design Depot is not simply another online company to Jeff and Lisa. It is something they are building together for their family, their future, and the next chapter of their lives.

The hawk may be the symbol, but there are two people behind it.

Built from experience. Driven by ideas. Built together.

JEFF & LISA HAUCK • HAWK DESIGN DEPOT Built for work. Designed for life. Built together.
ABOUT JEFF HAUCK SR.

Built from experience. Driven by ideas.

Designer. Author. Video creator. Commercial property professional.

Jeff Hauck Sr. is the founder of Hawk Design Depot—a Louisiana-based creative and professional services brand built around one simple idea: useful work should still have personality.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE HAWK

One career. Several creative lanes.

Jeff's professional background comes from years of managing facilities, commercial properties, vendors, projects, inspections, budgets and the unexpected problems that come with keeping real buildings operating.

Outside that world, he writes books, develops websites, produces videos, creates brand concepts and builds original projects through Hawk Design Depot. What connects those areas is the same practical mindset: understand the problem, develop the idea, and finish the work.

Hauck is pronounced “HAWK”—which made the name Hawk Design Depot feel pretty natural.
BUILT FROM REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE

Professional experience meets creative production.

FACILITIES & INSPECTIONS

Commercial Property Experience

Commercial facilities management, property-condition work, field inspections, vendor coordination, capital planning and practical building knowledge.

DESIGN & DIGITAL

Hawk Design Depot

Website design, branding, graphics and digital creative work developed for businesses, authors, projects and original concepts.

STORY & VIDEO

Books & Production

Original fiction, memoir, children's stories, YouTube content, commercial concepts and AI-assisted video production.

CREATIVE WORK

The ideas don't stay in one lane.

Hawk Design Depot grew into a home for the projects Jeff was already creating: books, videos, websites, commercial design, children's stories and the BLUE HAWX consumer brand.

Some projects are serious. Some are practical. Some are built simply because the idea was too good not to try.

What you'll find here Commercial property services. Website and brand design. Video production. Books and storytelling. BLUE HAWX apparel and accessories. And whatever original idea comes next.
LOUISIANA ROOTS

From St. Bernard to the Northshore.

Jeff grew up in St. Bernard Parish and now lives on Louisiana's Northshore. That background shows up throughout his work—in the stories, the humor, the practical approach and the belief that the best work still feels personal.
