👋 Hi there, I’m Mark!
I believe design is about empowering people.
I love creating experiences and products that elevate their work while bringing joy to the process. I navigate complexity through research-driven design thinking, translating human behavior insights into systems that scale.
My sweet spots include building from scratch, bridging the gap between design, product and engineering, and developing teams that consistently deliver exceptional results.
I've spent 12+ years shipping 0→1 products.
Mainly in venture-backed startups with great teams. I also created and sold a successful agency, and co-founded my own startup.
