After a short run chasing a degree in graphic design, Martin Swank abandoned his collegiate pursuits to follow a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the music industry. After decades working in the field - from writing, touring, producing, engineering to founding a fabled Kansas City DIY arts/music venue - Mr. Swank moved across the country to rural Tennessee and redirected his unquenchable thirst for creative learning back to the world of visual design.

As with all of the creative skills he has unlocked, his approach to design is not as series of jobs; but as a singular, life-spanning body of unified work. One that leaves a mark.
