In My Own Words
My name is Marc, and I'm an industrial designer. I'm an innovator, strategic problem solver, and adventurer. My passion is designing and creating beautiful objects. Currently I am looking for a full time position where I can grow. My friends call me MarcGyver because I can come up with a solution to every problem, and I can make amazing prototypes with whatever is available. As a designer, I focus heavily on functionality, but that doesn't mean my creations are bulky or thoughtless. I work well alone, but even better in a collaborative environment. As a team member, I am a great asset because of my tenacity and adaptability. I am a quick learner, and I love to put my skills to the test every chance I get.
