Transforming brand Experiences through Exceptional Design.

Hey there, I’m Mark Myrick, Senior Director of Brand Experience at DS. I lead the charge in crafting engaging digital experiences that genuinely connect with consumers. With over 15 years of experience in design and creative direction, I've worked on a wide variety of projects across a number of different industries, from B2C, B2B, and nonprofits.

Design is my passion, and I approach each project with a hands-on commitment to ensuring every detail shines. My design philosophy is simple: every project should have a clear purpose, clarity and simplicity are essential, and the ultimate goal is to elicit a connection with the brand. I'm an eternal student, always exploring new tools and platforms to keep my skills sharp and current with industry trends.

I thrive on continuous learning and constantly explore new tools and platforms to stay at the forefront of the industry. I'm equally passionate about mentoring and coaching budding designers, guiding them towards their full potential. Building a culture of collaboration is always a top priority for me, and I'm dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone's ideas are not only welcomed but nutured. This philosophy leaves its mark not just in the final outcome, but in the journey we undertake to arrive there. Thanks for taking a look, feel free to reach out to discuss working together.
