About
My name is Mark Cossey and I’m a User Interafce and Visual Designer. I began studying Graphic Design in 1992 after leaving school in Oxford. I started my career in design for print in 1997 and moved to digital in 2001. I’ve worked in-house for sectors including education and travel and have also been a freelance designer working for various companies in areas such as hospitality and restaurants to fitness and leisure as well as developing individual and start-up businesses. I’m now Senior UX Designer at Caplin Systems in London.

Personal
I live in Brighton with my wife and two daughters which keeps me incredibly busy outside of work. We enjoy walks in the park and on the beach and travelling when we can. My wife and I are also keen photographers and you can see some of our handy work here on Flickr
I love design, logos, branding and websites which is why I decided to extend this website from a simple portfolio to include a blog. I write as often as I can on subjects which interest me and I hope others find interesting too.
You can find my page on Facebook here and my Twitter here. I’m also on Linkedin
