Below is a little bit about Marc and his design experience. If you’d like a resume, feel free to download a pdf.

Marc would love to hear from you, too! me@marcnakamura.com

 

Marc was born and raised in Honolulu, went to undergrad in Seattle and attended design school in NYC. He now resides in sunny Long Beach, CA with his partner and three pets, Miso, Nori and Ringo. Find them on instagram @twocatsadogandagay.

Aside from his family, Marc loves three things: food, design and Mariah Carey. For the past six years, he has mailed silly holiday cards and Mariah Carey may or may not have made several appearances.

On his free time, Marc enjoys cooking, eating, exercising (to balance out all the eating), traveling, and standup paddleboarding.
