Well, hello there! I’m Mark — a Creative Problem Solver and Designer with over two decades of experience elevating brands, solving design challenges, and starting new ventures.
SOME CREATIVE ADVENTURES
• Once, a craft coffee connoisseur and entrepreneur.
• Before that, a wheat meat aficionado (Best of Denver 2013).
• Somewhere in the middle, managed a band (sold out the Bluebird Theatre).
• Oh, and I built and launched a card game.
• Currently coding a mining game with Pico-8 (coming soon).

I’m also not afraid of AI — in fact, I’ve found loads of ways to integrate it into my workflow. From Photoshop and Illustrator integrations to using it as a copywriting assistant (yep, even this page), AI helps me move fast, stay inventive, and experiment with new ideas.
All that to say: I’m a creative, a hobbyist, and an empathetic design leader who thrives on collaboration and fast-moving, thoughtful work.
RIGHT NOW
The biggest new adventure? Becoming a dad. It’s reshaped how I think about time, priorities, and creative work.

While I’m actively pursuing my next full-time role, I’m also taking on contract projects in graphic design, art direction, and creative direction. This balance gives me the chance to continue doing the hands-on creative work I love, while also being present in this new chapter of family life.
I’m usually outside — hiking, rock climbing, or disc golfing. When I’m not pushing pixels, I’m recharging in the sun.
And yes, I also redesigned the logo for my local mineralogical society (because why not?).

Please reach out and say hello! I’d love to connect about creative opportunities, contract projects, or just to swap stories about coffee, crystals, or the great outdoors.
