Helloooo, I'm Mark!

I grew up between cultures, which taught me to pay close attention to the people most designers design around. I studied Cognitive Science at UC San Diego and spent the last few years doing research-heavy product design in healthcare and AI. Outside of that I work on nonprofits, clothing brands, and whatever else pulls my attention. I am based in San Diego.

Outside of work I'm probably:

  • In the outdoors taking pictures with my film camera

  • Cafe and restaurant hopping to add to my Beli

  • Playing volleyball or basketball
