CV

Foreword
Mark does not believe in CVs for many reasons. One of them is that, being an immigrant, born in Russia and naturalised in Italy, he had to take on many different jobs simply to maintain a valid Permesso di Soggiorno (Permit of Residence) and earn enough to live. These positions are not what Mark was, is, or will be, yet they are part of his experience, and he respects that. 

In this CV, Mark has chosen to focus primarily on design, art, and creative fields more broadly.
