Mark Trebicki, Industrial Designer in Amherst, MA

About

I’m an experienced, inspired product designer. I’m always looking for new ideas that expand and enhance our material world.

I've had great opportunities of both leading and playing fundamental roles in real world projects, taking them right through from concept and conception to manufacture and implementation.

I have gained a great deal of experience working as a designer in cutting edge American design consultancies, as well as some of SA’s top consultancies and brand agencies.

Having spent 2 years in a branding & design firm I thoroughly understand the processes, design needs and conventions of interior, brand and architectural design.

I have a large amount of experience in plastics and consumer electronics and appliances as well as branding and brand experience design, however I have also had experience in wood craft and wood manufacturing for the furniture industry.

Thank you for your time.
