Mark’s path to architecture began with a love of art, which led to designing and building furniture, and ultimately sparked a passion for architecture and the built environment. His career has been shaped by a broad range of experiences—from showroom design at Steelcase and corporate interiors at Kirksey, to residential architecture in private practice, and architecture & Interiors work at Hanover.

He and Kara founded makrDESIGN as a reflection of their shared design sensibilities and complementary talents, bringing together architecture, interiors, and a thoughtful approach to every project.

Mark holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin and a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Design from the Kansas City Art Institute.
