This project was part of the work I’ve doing along Eric Segura on OCASO Festival regarding the visual development of the festival.
Hello!
If you’d like to know more about me you have come to the right tab. Basically I’d like to introduce myself so as to have a better description of who i am, what I like and the type of person I’ve become through the years.
Mi name is Mark Trabolsi Tafelov. Born & raised in Mexico City, I grew up with a lot of noise, movement and stimuli. I lived really close to the city’s center, about 20-30 minutes away, but made most of my life in the suburbs of the city. Still, for a city that dense and big such as Mexico there were plenty of challenges that come with big cities, specially with the cities that have 20+ million people.
At the moment I was not aware I had become a fan of good storytelling. I love stories that compel me to watch them over and over, analyzing them and finding new details every now and then. This made me start in the first steps of becoming a transdicipinary artist; i became a fan of copying characters and creating big drawings of them. I didn’t know at the moment but this helped me get into the details of stuff. I saw things nobody else did, and gave my attention to those small details I found important.
As a kid I always enjoyed anime, cartoons and plenty of pop culture references, such as movies, comics and the psychology behind the characters always intrigued me. Soon I became a fan of stop motion movies, horror, suspense and mostly everything regarding sci-fi or horror. Thanks to my grandparents I also developed a huge passion for the cosmos. Hence, i saw everything Carl Sagan had to teach in his documentaries over and over, space actually became an obsession when I was a small kid. Star Wars was also one of the greatest references I had, I could watch the movies over and over; It was a whole experience that combined character development, space and action.

Translating ideas into words can be hard, translating them into functional ideas that are understood by computers and through our complex digital ecosystem can be a handful. If you are a startup that continues to redefine itself through and through that’s fine, but compromise is needed when doing creative and development stuff. Think of it as a digital house for your ideas and services and be open to keep on evolving in a structured manner!
With each experience I like to polish my skills, the time it takes to develop a single idea can vary between weeks to months depending on the budget and timing of the project, as well as the compromise and the needs of the same. The complexity of the business and the easiness to study its context will also vary on the timing of the solution provided.
I take a lot of pride and joy in whatever I do. Enjoying my work helps me thrive in my work by pushing me into doing my outmost best. the joy the completion of stuff brings me is unimaginable.
Understanding and listening is my primary concern. This tool that our body and our senses give us is extremely functional. Listening to the needs and then creating an analysis of the underlying root cause of the issues allows me to create down to earth solutions and connect with the essence of the project.
