I had the pleasure of working with Mark at NBC. Mark is one of those guy that you want to work with. Very easy going and very good at what he does. He's definitely a valuable asset to any company he works for.

Mark is a very talented designer who produced a variety of digital assets for NBC's Agency department, which included advertising graphics, interactive games, wallpapers or web video applications. It always amazed me how much work Mark churned out on a daily basis, yet at the same time ensuring the quality of NBC's brand in everything he did.
