My name is Marc Balderama and I'm a visual & UX designer living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Starting out as a self-taught designer, I've worked on a variety of projects and products spanning marketing collateral, mobile games, enterprise analytics software, and card games.

I'm greatly interested in the ability of designers to act as facilitators. Creating tools that not only make people's lives easier but also allow people to express themselves.
