Bio
Kyle Hill
Not only does Mark have an amazing eye for what makes a game look good he also has an excellent grasp of game design. He doesn't just want the game to look good, he wants the art of the game to make the game play better. Before being promoted to art director he worked extensively with the DCUO combat team helping shape the groundbreaking action MMO combat that DCUO provides.
Ryan Dunagan
Mark is the kind of director that every team hopes to have. Not only is he exceptionally knowledgeable about both art and design, always ready and able to provide critical insights to problems on both sides of the fence, but he genuinely cares about his team. He understands the needs of developers professionally, and personally. It is this understanding coupled with a proven track record of success that lets him elicit the best from every member of his team. I would not hesitate to work with Mark again.
