How I stay sane

Swimming

The simple times of being together as a family have become increasingly beautiful, meaningful, and enjoyable. Days are primarily spent lounging around the pool and laughing with my wife and kids.

Eating

It's not so much about the food, but more about the company. A meal shared with others is priceless, and if it includes pasta, even better — just add butter, parmesan, and hot spices and it's the perfect meal.

Gardening

Well, I didn't say I was good at gardening, but I am learning! This hobby has become a wonderful time of reflection, connection, and contemplation. Although, I have yet to grow enough to fill my plate.

Testimonials

What my peers say

"Mark is without a doubt, one of the most thoughtful designers I've ever worked with. While his designs are beautiful, what sets Mark's work apart is the level of thinking that goes into everything he does. He always considers the brand, the customer and the function of the job he's working on. Whenever I ask Mark why he did something, there's always a good reason. Over my time at Rauxa, I saw Mark's talent and design skills become increasingly sophisticated and accomplished..."
John Avery
Design Lead at RPA
"I had the pleasure of working with Mark for several years on accounts such as Disney and Verizon. Mark is an outstanding art director and designer who has the ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously. (He even has a knack for pitching in and writing headlines/body copy when needed.) If you're a company/client in need of a solid art director, or if you're a lazy copywriter and you want someone else to do your work, I highly recommend contacting Mark."
Alan Jacobs
Freelance, Writer
"I am incredibly honored to work with Mark. He has an extraordinary ability to make complex messages into clear, concise, compelling visual works of art. The fact that a person this creative and talented Is also one of the most kind and humble people I know is especially mind blowing."
Dr Kerry Burnight
Gerontologist, Author, Speaker
"Mark is an amazing art director and designer. His vision, creativity and intelligence elevated every project we worked on together. Some of the best work I've produced at Rauxa came from working with Mark. Whether it was a fun-loving piece promoting a kid's movie or a direct marketing mailer aimed at business professionals, Mark nailed it every time. He was a pleasure to work with and I really hope our paths cross again soon."
Mike Anapolsky
Copywriter
"Mark is an extremely talented Art Director – he’s passionate, conceptual, and able to execute tactical requests across all creative channels. Mark and I worked closely together on many campaigns for a variety of accounts and his work was always well received by clients. He was an instrumental member of the creative team who secured the Disney account for the agency and went on to create digital savvy and results driven campaigns for the program. I enjoy collaborating with Mark to deliver stellar work for our amazing clients."

"I really like working with you — you have great ideas; make us look super professional and are very collaborative to work with AND flexible."
Scott Lien

"Since 1998, still working with Mark.
I think that says it all.
But here’s more,
I could hire any designer for most things, but when its important and it needs to be right, I return to the source, I go to the best and I get Mark to do it.
From the beginning of Sport Formula Inc, Mark was there and created our first labels and fliers.
Every few years, we worked together and made some updates.
Last year, we stunned the supplement world and produced a complete new line up that is just stunning.
As our product line matured, so did Mark’s skills.
When it counts, don’t settle, use Mark."
