Hello my name is Mark Payne, A designer/artist working in Brisbane (Queensland, Australia). I've been working commercially as a web/graphic designer for 11 years.
My lifes biggest passion is creating things, either at my job for clients or for myself at home. You'll see from my folio that I just love to create.
I am concerned about our impact on the environment. I want a quality step forward regarding our Indigenous Australians as well as global human rights. I also adore finding out about the latest in science & nature. Staying up to date with whats happening in the world is important to me.
Period dramas are a weakness and sometimes will watch them solidly for weeks on end while surrounding myself in cakes and tea.
