ABOUT MARK NADEN

Bringing a decade of leadership at the helm of a dynamic design consultancy, I offer nearly three decades of expertise focused on guiding and overseeing architectural and industrial design initiatives.

Over the years, my extensive background has encompassed all facets of design and production, strongly emphasizing innovation, client collaboration, teamwork, and efficiency in bringing projects to completion with the highest quality.

Moreover, my experience extends to creative direction, including defining design objectives, team assembly, and proficient management to deliver top-notch results consistently, always meeting project timelines and budgetary constraints.

My design work has achieved international acclaim, earning prestigious placements in the permanent collections of renowned institutions such as SFMOMA, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and  Pinakothek der Moderne, reflecting a strong emphasis on design excellence.
