About Mark
I have over 29 years of experience working for a very busy studio in Soho. My jobs varied on a daily basis, from designing in the morning to attending a client meeting in the afternoon.
I’ve worked for a diverse range of clients, including Action for Children, Aviva, BT, Coca-Cola, Crisis, CVC, Drinkaware, Met Police, Motorola, Panasonic, Pets at Home, Plusnet, Thomson Reuters, Tourism Ireland and WH Smiths.
My work has been across the board, from packaging (all of BT’s consumer products for the past 20 years) to in-store point of sale (Pets at Home) to corporate brochures and reports (CVC). At one time I was heavily involved with the production of ads for the national press but much of the work in the last 10 years has been online. So I now create ads and content for websites, including animations, skyscrapers, banners and emailers.
I’ve worked with Adobe products since 1991, so am fully competent in the Creative Cloud suite.
I’m able to see a project through from start to finish, from taking the brief, producing the visuals and creating the artwork and finally proofing and signing off at the printers.
