After college, Kaufmann lived in the Pacific Northwest before moving to Oakland, California in the early 2000s, where he has resided since. Shortly after his return to the Bay Area, he switched from oil painting to watercolor. He has contributed wildlife artwork to a variety of publications. He was an arts writer for the East Bay Express, an alt weekly serving the East Bay. Beginning in 2009, the brand Juniper Ridge employed Kaufmann as its "chief storyteller"; he eventually quit after he "got sick of selling shit." He later collaborated with the Swedish denim brand Indigofera on a line of natural-fabric clothing. He has worked as a tattoo artist for several years, dating back to his time living in the Pacific Northwest. While he was preparing The California Field Atlas, he only took breaks to go on hikes or to work at a tattoo parlor in Oakland.
Kaufmann is a conservationist and has given talks across California on ecology and preservation of nature.
In 2017, the Berkeley nonprofit Heyday Books published Kaufmann's first book, The California Field Atlas. The book was a surprise commercial success: it sold out of its first two printings, generating pent-up demand, and became a regional bestseller. It was a recipient of numerous California book awards.
His next book, The State of Water: Understanding California's Most Precious Resource, was released in June 2019. It will be followed by The California Lands trilogy, consisting of The Forests of California (Fall 2019), The Coasts of California (Spring 2020), and The Deserts of California (Fall 2020).
