Lead consultant

He began his professional journey as a web designer in 2006. Throughout his 15 year career as a creative professional, he has built deep expertise, working in various fields of design from traditional print, to animation and developing interactive experiences. Working in the advertising industry, he has served in several roles - from interaction designer to creative art director, providing art direction for global brands such as Red Bull, Nestle, Frito-Lay, DHL, Payless Shoesource, Kimberly Clark, and Unilever.
In addition to extensive advertising experience, Marc worked for 2 years with the INTASAVE-CARIBSAVE group, an international non-profit, providing creative direction on climate change and sustainable development projects across the globe.

His identity work has been seen worldwide, having crafted the visual identity (VI) for the World Press Freedom Day global celebrations in 2016, which served as a day of reflection among media professionals and as a reminder to governments of the need to respect their commitment to press freedom. He would go on to design the VI for the 2017,2018, and 2021 global celebrations, producing collateral and signage in over 7 languages.
