With over 35 years of experience in computer design and illustration (I started using Adobe Illustrator on a Mac in 1988), I’m equally adept on both Macs and PCs. I wield the Creative Suite apps with speed and precision, while my expert skills with InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat are complemented by significant proficiency in Premier Pro, After Effects, Cinema 4D, and other powerful tools.
Currently employed as a fully-remote Senior Graphic Designer and Illustrator with CGI Inc., a leading Canadian IT consulting and systems integration company (NYSE GIB, ~$15B, ~90K employees), I’m the sole U.S.-based designer and illustrator serving a team of 35-plus marketing managers and communications experts. Everything I create is managed through Adobe Workfront, while strictly adhering to an extensive and detailed set of brand guidelines. Additionally, all my projects require approval by several layers of team managers.

Marc first did a very complicated technical book project for us, and the results were great. He listened, incorporated our (repeated) inputs, and provided a beautiful, usable finished document. Marc also did a powerpoint template for us; he took our old template and gave it a much needed update without reducing brand image.
K.T. – Project Manager, INEE
Marc is an absolute pleasure to work with and is an outstanding designer. He’s been instrumental in creating, adjusting, and finalizing our proposals. Additionally, he’s always been professional, timely, and patient as clients and customers often change their direction.
