Mark Design

Our office is at 92-B in South Extension. Mark Design is the name on the plate outside. South Ex is a busy area, and being at 92-B means we’re right in the middle of the traffic and the noise. The office itself is quite small. We’ve had to be creative with how we fit all the desks and equipment into the rooms. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze when everyone is in at the same time. At Mark Design, we don’t really go for the corporate look. There are sketches and notes pinned up everywhere, and the bins are usually full of discarded ideas. It’s a working space, not a showroom. We spend a lot of time just sitting and thinking or typing away at the keyboards. The windows look out onto the street, so there’s always something to distract you if you look up for too long. We’ve been here at 92-B for a good stretch now. The building is okay, though the elevator can be a bit slow during the lunch hour rush. We don’t have any fancy mission statements or anything like that. We just show up, try to stay productive, and deal with the challenges of the day as they come. It’s a simple life at the office. We like the neighborhood because there’s always good food nearby, even if the parking can be a bit of a nightmare.
