Mark Murphy , CARSHALTON, United Kingdom

Mark Murphy has been working as a visualiser and designer specialising in conceptual, 3D design, visualisation and illustration work for over sixteen years, with an understanding of working for large brands (recent clients include Samsung, Ford, Facebook, Google, Aperol, Heineken, Nestlé, Krups, Coca Cola, Nivea and Nescafé) in a variety of disciplines. These have involved knowledge of graphic and branding design but an understanding of three-dimensional thinking and an ability to translate brand expressions into physical design has lead to a specialisation in 3D space design and illustration & visualising, right from hand-drawn visuals and storyboarding, Photoshop and Illustrator visuals, digital painting and retouching; all the way to 3D layouts and rendered visuals. He has worked in the events and marketing sector primarily, visualising events and experiences for Ford, Facebook, Lego, HSBC amongst others; as well as in the retail sector, totally designing shop spaces for BBC Worldwide and beauty brands L'Oréal and Ainhoa Beauty and creating in-store fixtures and shopper tools for worldwide implementation for brands like Nestle, Nivea and Philips. Working in the shopper marketing sector meant being part of a team alongside the strategy teams of Publicis to create in-store communications for many worldwide brands and utilising the techniques of establishing an immediate and successful connection with the shopper. He has also been involved in merchandise design for the entertainment sector; conceptualising and designing ranges -including art print design- for BBC Worldwide (on their Doctor Who brand) and Vertigo Films. He has a calm "I can do that" attitude to challenges and considers himself to have the ability and experience to create anything required, be that creating a full 3D retail interior from scratch, design an architectural concept for a brand new banking brand or illustrate a range of cartoon characters; he will relish the opportunity to learn a new skill on the way.
