Profile: https://flows.cv/markmeardon

I'm a San Francisco-based designer living at the intersection of storytelling and experience.
My work highlights user experience design, animation, and graphic design with a mix of traditional and filmmaking techniques to offer a unique approach. In other news, I'm a big movie nerd, and will always take you up on an offer to play a boardgame.
