Founding Partner

Director of Brand Development

Mark Nead is Boondock Walker’s Director of Brand Development and a Founding Partner. Mark has over 15 years of design, creative direction and branding experience. Today, his time is spent developing concepts, messages, strategies and design solutions that work in harmony to build better brand experiences.

When not breaking moments of silence in the office with jolting screams, Mark pursues complex communication challenges, using information architecture and design to create clarity and understanding. Fervently driven by the constant study of all things brand, Mark insists on keeping a stack of 5-10 books on related subjects within arm’s reach. This may include the factors that influence decision-making, design thinking, and how innovation can drive the brand experience.

Mark is married and the proud father of a daughter and two boys, each of whom has inherited a few of his distinguishable traits. These include: creative aspirations, love of sweets, organization, too many shoes and refusal to go to bed at reasonable hours.

These are a few of my favorite things…
