Mark
Hello! I’m a graphic designer, artist, and academic from the US, based in Berlin. I design print, web, and animated projects and I teach graphic design, typography, and illustration. My art combines analog and digital processes including animation, collage, typography, and writing, and has been shown across the US and internationally.

I care about language, textures and patterns, effective educational practices, and figuring out what “home” means.
