Hello!

My name is Mark Alvis. I'm a thinker, designer, and musician. I used to drink way too much coffee, now its mostly water. I spend most of my time chasing around my three wonderful daughters – twins Ruby & Scarlett, and Olive our youngest – with my wife of 10 years. We live in Tacoma.

I am a systems-minded creative with a love for product, packaging and identity design. I have a serious hankering for strategies and rationale - let's get nerdy! All in all, 15 years experience design print, packaging, interactive, and identity solutions. Strategy, systems, and style - oh my!

My creative disciplines include UI, research, ideation, sketching, typography, layout and creative strategy. I love to create brand identity systems. I use Figma for UI - Adobe CC Suite for Illustration, icon & identity work.

The design process is very important to me. Design isn't just decoration, it lives and dies by one’s ability to clearly understand the goals and then execute a solution that solved the problem.

I am thorough and meticulous in my process. I love defining and creating solutions to complex problems - using psychology, strategy and a little emotional ninjutsu.

Good design make things simpler, and more beautiful.
