With over 40 years of combined creative experience, Mark & Paula form a dynamic duo skilled in various creative domains. Their expertise spans across visual concepts, design, theming, 2D & 3D concepts, marketing strategies, and digital solutions. Whether working directly with clients or collaborating with other creative agencies, they have a proven track record of delivering exceptional results on diverse projects.
With over 26 years of industry experience, including a significant portion of that time working as a lead digital expert and visual concept artist for theme parks, Mark is unapologetically passionate about delivering responsive, commercially-savvy creative results. Whether it's Blue Sky concept design, character design, CAD 3D, digital concept art, stop-motion animation, website UI design and development, or virtual and augmented reality technology, Mark brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
Before co-founding Biscuit, Mark served as Creative Director for Asia Online. He excels in technology-driven disciplines such as web strategy, digital and 360 video, SEO, online marketing strategies, 3D modelling and character development (including the 3D M&M's character development for packaging), digital illustration, video editing, and app and VR/AR technologies. Mark is constantly seeking out new methods, tools, and technology, and he offers his clients the most cutting-edge solutions available.
While Mark thrives in the world of digital design, he is equally at home with traditional art and design crafts such as illustration, oil painting, sculpting (clay), character illustration, theme park visualisation, and park map illustration. He loves the challenge of integrating these traditional techniques into high-personality, effective, and contemporary visual solutions.Throughout his career, Mark has worked with a variety of high-profile clients, including Disney Imagineering, Funfields Theme Park, Aussie World, Adventure Park, Sydney Olympic Park, Mitsubishi Motors, Mars Confectionery, Singapore Airlines, ALF, Macquarie Bank, Xerox, Fairy Park, and Europcar.
Mark's reputation for producing high-quality, cutting-edge technology work is widely recognised within the industry, among his peers, and by his clients.
