Hi I'm Mark
So far so good.
I’ve managed to build and lead brand strategy, visual design, and content marketing for brands across nearly every marketing channel and media type, from interactive experiences——physical spaces, static design——motion graphics, AR——VR. I created an NFT once upon a time.
HelloCrypto is likely the best most recent example of all this.

Call to Action
We're all working to create and deploy in a world that’s moving too fast for most people to keep up with.
This where I come in.
I’m a veteran creative leader who’s always stayed ahead of the curve — from the earliest evolution of web and interactive design, to Web3 apps, blockchain tech, and adopting early generative AI tools.
Today, being able to combine this with a foundation of design thinking and brand strategy feels like a genuine superpower.
VISION with SUPERVISION.
If you’re interested in a quick conversation, let's make it happen.

What I Can Do for You
As a Creative Director
As a Brand Strategist
As a Design Lead
Creative leadership dedicated to your existing clients & team.
Set up an on-going partnership.
What this means:
I work directly with your Founders, Leadership, and Key Stakeholders as a fractionalized Creative Director.
Commitment to a weekly schedule (2–4 days) allows me to provide consistent creative direction, clear brand strategy, and oversight for new initiatives and ongoing work.
Benefits:
A Creative Director who understands your business, your customers, and your brand becomes a powerful long-term advocate and force multiplier. In an era where AI tools let anyone produce work faster than ever, having the right vision and supervision ensures your team stays focused, consistent, and moving in the right direction — delivering higher quality output with greater confidence and speed.
We can build this dream together.
Project-based
Eg.
AI-powered: brand strategy & positioning, complete visual design systems, websites, apps & digital experiences, investor presentations & pitch decks, full-scale marketing campaigns
In this case, we’d establish a Scope of Work to determine requirements like resources, timing, and budget. I’d assemble a team to design and deliver it.
Expect projects to be in the $60—90K range over a 3—4 month timeframe.
Either option starts as a conversation, which starts as an email.
Hey bud, what's your problem?
—Jeff Spicoli, Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Design = Problem-solving.
If you want me to look at something that's not working or needs to get started—even if it's still in the early stages of figuring out what it may eventually turn out to be… I'm sure I could help you.
20+ YEARS
I've helped the world's most recognizable brands evolve.
And
Also, I've guided a few startups to get things started.
20+ Years in the Making
I’ve had opportunities to learn from incredible teachers, collaborate with remarkable clients and to lead some truly exceptional creative teams.
