I’m an experienced and resourceful designer, with good technical knowledge. I originally started out in the 90s in graphic design, mostly working on brand communications, then adding web, digital and UX.

After three decades, my skills and interests have gravitated towards a support and consulting focus. I'm now taking a multi-disciplined approach to fractional or part-time roles, supporting business owners with marketing growth and operations.

Mark is delightful to work with and always able to deliver a project on time and budget. We can't recommend him highly enough.

About me

Designer & consultant

I’ve always been quite a generalist with a wide skillset and strong curiosity, which I see as an asset. My current focus is on digital design and marketing support services, for founders and growth-focussed businesses.

Creator & educator

Regularly build and launch my own side project products and experiments.
Participated in an Innovation Design Day at Experience Haus (September 2023)
Volunteer as Creator in Residence for the No-Code x AI Bootcamp (11 cohorts)

Coaching

I coach founders to build their online ideas with my design background and my knowledge of no-code tools and SEO.
This covers everything from building an MVP, to planning user workflows, and how to design as a non-designer.

Core skills

Design

My main passion has always been design, and I really love taking a user-centred approach to solving problems. I'm just as comfortable in high level planning as implementing solutions. I'm able to work through parts or all of the design thinking process, from research, analysis, ideation and prototypes.

Digital

I really enjoy bringing ideas to life, especially as part of the design process. This can mean building prototypes, adding features, and developing Tamingcomplexity is something I thrive on, using a problem-solving and logistics approach. I help plan, design and execute solutions that work for actual users.

Brand + UI

Early stage startups often struggle with creating an impactful and enjoyable visual design to launch with, when they don't have designers on the founding team. With my background as a brand designer and a good understanding of UI, I help them get to a point of readiness.

A fantastic opportunity for us to see a real expert at work.
