MARK BIRD
In 1991, I joined Jensen Design Associates in Long Beach, California as a senior designer on the Apple Computer, Canon Computer Systems Division, New Oji Paper of Tokyo and Toshiba accounts.
In 1995, I launched Bird Design where I offer video and motion graphics, campaigns, corporate brand identities, web sites and product literature systems. You can see the complete buffet of services I offer here.
I've been awarded numerous local, regional and national design awards. My work has also appeared in Graphis Packaging, Print Magazine, Communication Arts and Grand Rapids Magazine.
---------------------------------------------
Additionally, I taught in the Graphic Design program at Michigan State University from 2015 to 2020 as well as Kendall College of Art and Design from 1998 to 2002. Some of the courses I led include design thinking, corporate branding, color theory, basic and advanced typography, Design Center (a course with "real life" client experiences), design principals, and Design 1 and 2.
In 2002, I co-founded Polishing Center, a portfolio and career development program with industry veteran Frank Blossom. Our primary purpose was to assist newcomers to the advertising and design industry in their pursuit of improving professional and creative standards while making connections for potential employment.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from Kendall College of Art and Design and studied at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
