CRAFTING DIGITAL GOODS SINCE — Y:2004
MFQF
Hey, I’m Marcus Fernandes — multidisciplinary artist specialized in digital design. Welcome to the testing ground for my brain’s creative reflexes!
My passion lies in crafting beautiful and functional digital designs and experiences, where art and technology come together to make life simpler, smoother, and a little more delightful.
I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale—a mouthful that basically means I know how to make things look good and work well. This foundation gave me a solid grasp of the principles behind effective interaction design, helping me create visuals that marry aesthetics with functionality (without the drama).
