I look at each problem I come across, and ask myself,
“How can I make this work?”
To me, that is what design is, and that is what I try to do.
“
His ability to work independently and within a team is a valuable, often overlooked, trait in a designer. His work in the last year on the launch of Locations has been crucial, as he seamlessly joined the UX team and is now leading cross-departmental groups on re-designs.”

Manager, Locations Technical Operations, NAVTEQ
“
Mark just wants people to have GREAT experiences in what ever product they are using. Mark is incredibly creative, artistic and is excellent at communicating the reasons behind his design - not many graphic artists are good at this. He's also super detail-oriented and has never missed a deadline. We're lucky to have him on the team!”

Former Manager, User Experience Design, NAVTEQ
“
Mark is a self-starter that can add to any project: with good ideas, no-nonsense approach to finding solutions, and great sense of humor. Great person to work with.”

I was born in Washington, DC, grew up in Fairfax County, attending Centreville High School, and completed my education after spending four years in Harrisonburg, VA at James Madison University. I have spent the time since living in Arlington, VA & working in DC for NAVTEQ.
I like to design things. It began with designing cartoons and comics as a boy growing up, and has since evolved into anything involving words, colors & images.
I began by working on tradeshow & special event print maps, moved on to city visitor guides & publications, and finally graduated to web & user experience design. In my 5 years of professional experience, I've encountered many interesting challenges, and I'm always looking for the next problem in need of a solution.
