I've loved drawing, writing, and playing music (on trumpet and guitar) ever since I was a kid. I even pursued a career in music for a while after college, where I majored in psychology. I found design as a career by accident when I was working for a company that asked me to use my creativity to help develop some desperately needed marketing materials. While working on those materials, I realized I had found what I wanted to do for a living, and I went back to school for design.
I enjoy creating designs that help people and businesses achieve their goals. I’ve held design roles at small design firms, a large non-profit, and also worked as a freelancer. No matter the setting, working towards a common goal with a team of like-minded individuals is where I thrive. I gravitate towards design that is minimal and clean, without a lot of adornment, but with an eye towards design that is intuitive and delightful.
When I’m not designing something, you can find me out on a bike ride with my wife, on the sidelines of one of my kids baseball or ultimate frisbee games, running on the local trails in the South Mountain Reservation, taking macro-photos of nature, or playing my guitar with my band, The Incontinentals.
I hope we have a chance to meet and work together someday soon. Use the form below and send me a note, or email me directly.
What they say:
"Mark came onto the Design Team right when we needed him most – bringing both the design-chops, but more importantly the soft-skills that have helped solidify the foundation of this team. The dedication to self-improvement, a user-focused approach, and default to collaborate has set him up for continued success."
"Mark, it has been such a pleasure having you join the team. Everyone across different teams has enjoyed working with you and in such a short time you've made a big impact at helping spread the reach and outward impression of the team."
"I've also really appreciated the drive and self-ownership you've shown when it comes to leading various activities."
"I can honestly say that the team is better positioned to tackle 2020 because of the work Mark has been doing. Always a team player and carrying a positive attitude, everyone he's worked with only has good things to say about his collaborative spirit."
