    Discovery

    Every mural starts with understanding the space, the audience, and the goal.

    During discovery, Mark works with clients to define the purpose of the mural, discuss visual direction, review the location, and understand any brand guidelines or themes. This step ensures the artwork is intentional, site-specific, and aligned with the environment it lives in.

    Concept & Sketches

    Ideas take shape before paint ever touches the wall.

    Mark develops initial concepts and sketches based on the discovery phase. These visuals help clients see the direction of the piece, provide feedback, and confirm the overall look and feel. Revisions are made collaboratively to ensure clarity and confidence before moving into execution.
