A CREATIVE NERD

About Mark

I work hard and play nice.

I enjoy creatively transforming businesses and helping them to succeed. And it gives me a great buzz to know that I’ve been part of their journeys.

I’m Mark Narusson a graphic designer based in Birmingham, West Midlands. I’ve been a pro designer since the 1990s and have amassed a whopping 20 years of creative industry experience. Within this time I’ve been featured on a handful of design websites and podcasts.

My expertise is in solving business problems and providing solutions. This can be done creatively or strategically with the ultimate goal of helping a business owner reach their goal. The solution can be a mix of branding, creative print design, website design, and SEO.

How I got interested

Since the early age of 4 (that was a long time ago) I’ve loved to draw and create things. Coloured pens, paint, paper, glue, glitter – you name it I’ve used it – and been covered in it.

During my design agency days, I would create print marketing assets and design websites. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients such as Nationwide Building Society, BBC Sports Personality of the Year and the Stella Artois Tennis Championships to name a few.

Don’t get me wrong – working for an agency was great, but I always knew that I wanted to do something more challenging. So when I had the opportunity to become a freelance web designer I jumped at the chance. So in 2011, I set up my website design studio from home, which I absolutely love.

I never thought I’d run a business (I now have two) or become a self-employed designer. So it’s funny how life leads us to places we never thought we’d end up. Working for yourself can be challenging at times, but on the whole, it can be very rewarding.
