Spending time with Mark has been one of the highest leverage activities for our product team.
Every meeting we have together, I walk away enthusiastic to bring our conversations to life. It's remarkable how much progress we make each meeting — solving tricky UX problems, brainstorming new product ideas, and creating concrete action plans.
It sometimes feels like our team saved an entire week by having a one hour conversation with Mark.

Mark's experience leading high-performing design teams at design-centric companies (Uber, Adobe, and Google) proved to be an invaluable asset to our growing team and nascent design function.
Mark is easy to work with and will readily engage in brainstorming, but also keeps us focused on the main thing and shares feedback in a candid (and refreshing) manner.

Mark is a rockstar.
When he's on your team, beautiful design work seems to effortlessly start appearing from him and other designers on the team. From UX to UI, marcomm, animation, interactive prototypes — you name it, they are done beautifully and quickly.
No challenge is too daunting and every unexpected curveball is met with a smile and a 'No worries — we'll get it done'.

Mark took our product vision and transformed it into a beautiful prototype and killer 60-second video that we use at live events and new business meetings.
Mark doesn't take a brief and just execute against the initial requirement; he challenges it, stretches it and takes it further than you thought possible.
Simply put, Mark was a partner to our business and I hope we continue to work together in the future.

Brent Chiu-Watson
Sr. Director, Worldwide Product Marketing at Apple
Succinctly put, Mark is the best interaction designer I have ever worked with.
His willingness to experiment, create complete functional prototypes, and partner closely with product management to understand user behavior will enable him to positively impact the current and future state of any product.
He embodies modern design and product management philosophies, and is driven to help any organization understand the value of working with these philosophies in mind.
Mark is a natural leader and is one of the few people I trust deeply as a mentor to my team members. He makes anyone with whom he works better. He makes any problem on which he focuses tractable.

Mark is an absolute force of nature.
His experience allows him to tackle a design problem from so many angles that overnight he becomes the linchpin to any project he touches. He is a fantastic collaborator and a unicorn UX/UI/Motion designer. A rare combination and I can't wait to work with him again!

I'm not sure I've had the opportunity to work with anyone as passionate about design as Mark.
Mark is a true design ambassador... who can back "it all" up with skill, dedication, and execution. If you want to elevate design at your company... can get over that Aussie accent ;) and are lucky enough to snatch him up... then Mark is your guy!

Sometimes when I watch Apple product launch videos, I wonder if Mark consulted on them, his style is so svelte.
Seriously, if I had 1% of the talent he possesses in just his mouse-finger, I could probably quit my job and go work at Pixar and animate a feature length movie in my sleep.

Before we hired Mark I read his testimonials and thought “Surely these can’t be true”.
Turns out they are.
Mark is a unicorn. The greatest designer I’ve ever witnessed. But what I value most is the excitement he brings to your entire company that makes you all feel world-class.
