A few things about me.

Hello! I'm Mark, a UX/UI & Graphic Designer based in the stunning city of Edinburgh. Originally from the Philippines, I also lived and worked in Kuwait before relocating to Scotland. Moving here has allowed me to immerse myself in the vibrant culture and fascinating history of this remarkable city. I love haggis and sausage rolls!

As a Designer, my passion lies in crafting practical and visually appealing products that improve lives and address everyday challenges. I approach design with a user-first mindset, believing that every decision should cater to the user's needs and preferences. I thrive on problem-solving and am driven by the goal of delivering meaningful experiences with optimal results. With years of experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of graphic design, user experience (UX), user interface (UI), design systems, and branding—and I often work across all these areas to support meaningful projects.

Outside of design, you’ll often find me hillwalking and wandering through Edinburgh’s streets, exploring its museums, galleries, libraries, shops, gardens and local cafes. As a member of the National Trust for Scotland and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, I support efforts to preserve Scotland’s rich heritage while enjoying its most beautiful historic places.

My path to becoming a designer began with a Graphic Design course in the Philippines, which I later built upon in Scotland by earning an HND in User Experience Design and a BA (Hons) in Visual Communications from Kingston School of Art, Kingston University.
