Mark Wheeler has inspired me for a while now. He is very driven in his work and very creative. Working for Microsoft is every designer’s dream, but being the Art Director is something that most could not even fathom. I really admire his tenacity and flare for creativity. Unfortunately, finding information about him and his work was hard enough to find and only came up with his digital portfolio and LinkedIn profile.
Background
Wheeler grew up in England and has a pretty solid career with advertising companies there and has done projects for some pretty big names such as Puma and Playstation. Wheeler has also collaborated with the Microsoft XBox team on several projects. Wheeler is currently working on Mixed Reality apps including Dynamics 365 Remote Assistant. (Wheeler, 2017)
How he inspires me
What inspires me most about his work is that it always pushes the boundaries and strives for the next level. You never know what could come next from his work or his team. His portfolio alone is worth a million words. His work is part of the reason that I strive to become a video game graphics designer. I know that it might be confusing to some, but in the end, art is art and great art inspires others no matter what medium you choose to create with.
