ABOUT ME

I'm a Principal Product Designer with experience taking complex digital products from early research and product definition through to UX/UI, prototyping, testing and implementation across web, iOS, Android and TV.

My work spans product strategy, user research, interaction and motion design, accessibility, design systems, advanced prototyping and brand identity. I'm also comfortable getting hands-on in code, working directly with engineering to help turn designs into polished production experiences.

Over the course of my career, I've led design at startups and global businesses across fintech, crypto, streaming, marketplaces, lending and education. I've managed and mentored design teams, built products used by millions of people around the world, and worked closely with product, engineering and stakeholders to make complicated ideas feel simple and intuitive.

I care deeply about the details: how a product works, how it feels, how accessible it is, and making sure the final product is as polished as the original design.

Mark seamlessly integrated himself into our product, customer, and learner ecosystems, showing a genuine curiosity for understanding their unique needs. His designs weren't just visually appealing—they were purposeful, reflecting a deep understanding of our community's requirements. It's a pleasure working alongside someone who is so professional yet relatable, open to listening, and always receptive to new ideas. Mark brought an optimistic energy to our team, and his reassuring presence made even the most challenging projects seem doable.
Neil DsouzaFounder & CEO of GetSetUp
Mark's design ideas, incredible attention to aesthetic, relentless pursuit of refinement and perfection, and execution are absolutely top rate. He helped transform Siden's Android TV, Android mobile and iOS apps into true state-of-the-art platforms heralded by executive leaders across the content and wireless operator space in APAC as the best they've ever seen. I am grateful for all of his contributions and could not recommend him any more ardently in this area.
Boris BogatinFounder of Siden
Mark's an excellent leader who managed UI & UX teams across different timezones. Mark always designed above and beyond the brief and exceeded expectations whilst leading teams of designers. Mark is well versed in UI/UX Design and was always innovative with his solutions. His ability to produce large volumes of high-quality design is remarkable. Mark not only has a great creative approach to tasks but uses data well to solve problems.
Andy PatersonVice President of Product iflix, Head of Product Siden
I relied heavily on Mark and his adaptable nature and high standards increasingly as budgets saw our design capacity decrease. He was a strong and reliable ally during the chaotic startup life and hyper-growth pains. The list of achievements Mark has accrued at iflix does not fit in a small recommendation and it would be a disservice to try. I hope to work with him again and deeply respect his ability and what he did for iflix in his time there.
