Design is my passion. From magazines and websites, to tablet apps and marketing material, I excel in transforming content to make it engaging and exciting for the reader. With a strong background in B2B and B2C publishing, across a number of different channels, I have worked with a large variety of clients from professional institutes and membership bodies to corporates and unions and take the design lead in face-to-face pitches. Thanks to my more than 25 years' experience in the design industry, I have a large network of contacts in illustration, photography and design.
After 7 years working as an employee at Magenta, I am now freelancing as a creative director, designing white papers, brochures, branding, logos, social media graphics all for a varied client base.
I work closely with Magenta’s clients bringing their visions to life, guiding them through the process, unlocking their thinking and executing the brief to the very highest standard. With more than 25 years’ experience in the design industry, across B2B and B2C media, I have worked with a wide variety of clients including large enterprises, start-ups, professional institutes and not-for-profit organisations.
After more than 25 years’ experience designing everything from magazines and websites, to tablet apps and marketing material for a variety of publishers in a full-time role, I set up Mark Parry Design to allow me to work directly with clients from professional institutes and membership bodies to corporates and unions, as well as a variety of B2B publishers. In addition to design work, I am experienced at face-to-face pitches and pitch documents. I also work with corporates, designing websites, tablet apps, and marketing material from flyers to brochures. Can I help you? Please do get in touch
