Bio

I’m Marcus Sheppard, a designer with a passion for UX/UI design, graphic design, and visual storytelling. I enjoy turning ideas and user insights into clear, engaging digital experiences through thoughtful design and rapid prototyping. My background includes hands-on work in branding, digital design, video editing, and social media content, along with strong skills in Adobe Creative Suite. As a former student-athlete and national champion, I value collaboration, communication, and discipline, and I’m excited to bring creativity and fresh ideas to a team building meaningful, user-centered experiences.
