ABOUT ME

Built by hand.
Powered by curiosity.

I'm Mark Ward, the founder of Shadowban. I've spent 35 years creating and improving digital experiences, from hand-coded commercial websites to the newest generation of AI-led film, imagery and automation.

My work sits where design and technology meet. I can take a project from a rough conversation through visual direction, interface design, development, testing and deployment—without passing it between departments.

For the last three years I've worked extensively across the leading AI products, learning how to turn rapidly changing tools into useful, distinctive creative work.
