Mark Exline is a Producer, Production Designer, and Production Manager with over 14 years of experience in live event production and large-scale installations. Passionate about visual storytelling, Mark specializes in designing immersive experiences that explore the lines between art, experience, and narrative with a special focus on luminosity and reflection. He is adept at managing and executing high-quality productions for global audiences, with a deep understanding of lighting, sound, scenic, and costume design. 

"I try to think of scenery as more of a puppet than an environment. I find that incorporating light, movement, and unorthodox materials into a design can help make the world of a production feel as alive as the performers, and provide a storytelling structure that is as emotional as it is physical."

In his Studio practice, Mark focuses on work and media that encourage free exploration independent of the rigid structures of design. He finds the fluidity of water and boldness of ink and color introduce him to shapes and characters he would otherwise not create. These explorations often make their way into his design process, resulting in new and exciting installations, costumes, acts, and events.
