My background begins in traditional studio arts. I studied drawing, painting and printmaking, and I spent some time working in independent comics in my 20s before turning to graphic design. Since 1997, I have worked for a broad spectrum of corporations and clients—in-house agencies, small businesses, not-for-profits, boutique record labels and entertainment conglomerates—as a designer, art director and manager, leading teams to deliver high quality print and digital deliverables.
When I’m not working, I engage in other creative pursuits: playing music (mostly bass guitar), acting, directing, and designing sets & props for theatrical productions. And I continue to work in traditional studio arts, creating illustrations, paintings, murals and prints as personal projects and on commission.
The logos below represent some of the brands I’ve worked with. Whether you’re in publishing, entertainment, manufacturing or education, or some other industry, I look forward to working with yours.
Throughout my career, I’ve enjoyed several long-term periods of full-time employment as detailed below. Meanwhile, I’ve continued to engage in freelance efforts. This has kept me up-to-date with industry standards and design aesthetics—and it gives me an opportunity to work on a broader range of designs.
WellNow Urgent Care is part of The Aspen Group, headquartered in Chicago, IL. We are a group of 150+ urgent care clinics with locations in 5 states.
I began working at Redbox shortly prior to the company’s acquisition by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, which folded us into a larger corporation. The lines between the various businesses blurred, and the work I’ve done, while primarily focused on Redbox, has expanded to include the other streamers and studios under the CSSE umbrella.
Starting as a Senior Designer, I ultimately managed a team of designers in an in-house agency setting, serving a multinational corporation and multiple brands. Our team focused on the digital deliverables. I created and directed web design, UI, online advertisement and social media strategy for Techtronic Industries. Brands serviced include Home Depot bestsellers RYOBI & RIDGID and I was instrumental in the launch of HART Tools, to date, the largest single brand launch into Walmart stores.
In this in-house agency setting, I was part of a team tasked with staying on top of design trends and creating the look and feel for overall company branding, seasonal updates and special projects. Our work touched all channels and aspects of the business.
Led a team in designing and producing graphics for trade show and other displays.
I was the principal graphic and web designer in this small, family-run agency setting specializing in creating marketing strategy and materials for small businesses, startups, not-for-profits, and local government agencies.
At this in-house publication design department, I was one of several designers tasked with the design and production of newsletters and journals. These publications focused on tax and corporate law.
Marc's creative ideas and the high level of energy he brought to the table makes him one of my fondest project partners.
Marc possesses a remarkable knack for delivering digital design concepts and campaign materials that solve business and marketing challenges.
...his talent as a graphic designer truly soars when he’s given the ability to take creative liberty... he receives requests and absorbs ideas from clients, then turns them into a working concept better than any one could have imagined.
Collaborating with Marc was a highlight of my tenure as a digital marketing coordinator. Marc's insistence on quality and his ability to elevate our work to the highest standards was nothing short of inspirational. His dedication to his craft is admirable, and I hold a great deal of respect for his professional ethos.
