Call me Marcs

Creative technologist from Canada living in Germany, designing and managing products for humans doing things in new ways.

I design products that turn complex problems into near-future solutions. Right now I'm working on conversational AI and making open-source odds and ends.

• 🌎 Director, Product Design at Rasa in Hamburg, Germany.
• 🧵 Making what I can when I can at Les Original
• 🎨 Design tidbits on Dribbble
• 🚵‍♂️ Bicycle camper and old newschool skier

I turn research into real products with researchers and engineers. I lead product design at Rasa -- a dev platform for shipping chat and voice agents.

In my spare time I design and make quirky things with my sewing machines and a 3D printer — circular design, digital manufacturing, technical crafts. Mostly things to help me get outside, or stuff I need that nobody else is foolish enough to make.

I've been building up and riding bikes since I was a kid. I pop into bike shops and outdoor stores to geek out on the construction of textiles and footwear, but try my best not to buy anything.

Hiking, biking, camping and skiing are how I stretch my legs. I travel to experience natural beauty and the fruits of human creativity. My last big move was across Canada for a fellowship, and now I'm in Germany.
