Mark has been in the visual design and storytelling world since 1985. About 35 years ago, he started shaping what would become ZEBRADOG with a simple but bold idea: combine traditional visual communication design thinking with emerging technologies to create environments that engage all the senses. He wanted to build places that tell stories, connect people to brands in authentic ways, and invite them to linger a little longer—to learn, to touch, to feel. Today, that idea has grown into a world-class experiential design consortium that brings visual brands to life within built environments around the globe. The ZEBRADOG team is made up of exhibit architects, interior and graphic designers, producers, programmers, and software developers, all sharing one thing in common: they’re passionate thinkers who love what they do. Mark travels across the country speaking about “Dynamic Environments” and “The Human Experience of a Brand.” He’s a frequent keynote speaker for groups like the American Institute of Architects, the International Interior Design Association, and the American Marketing Association. As a Certified Experience Economy Expert (CEEE), he helps clients understand how to design experiences that feel personal and memorable. He also serves on the Board of Trustees for Taliesin Preservation, Inc., where he’s helping shape design programs that elevate the industry and celebrate creative heritage. And when he’s not deep in a ZEBRADOG project, you might find him rating golf courses for Golfweek Magazine, lending a hand at Taliesin, or tearing up the mogul fields in Summit County—still smiling on his 62year-old knees.

Whoa, whoa, whooa whoooa, huurrry, hurry, harder!! It all started 25 years ago when Amy started using a mysterious language in her hometown of Portage, WI. Thankfully, there was a club her parents could send her to that could nurture and direct her feverish energy. So began a love of curling and her passion to sweep and yell. Today, Amy is back in the hack and is happiest when she rocks the house! When she isn’t curling at the club, she can be found in the studio with a steaming cup of tea, a fan deck of Pantone colors, a Prince playlist on repeat, and the most unexpected designs on her monitor. She wouldn’t have it any other way.

Born under the Generalist sign (nestled neatly between Taurus and Gemini), Chris brings expertise that transects a diverse array of design disciplines, including technology, communications, environmental graphics programs, architecture, signage, art, and exhibit development. Not surprisingly, he studied journalism in college and continues to channel his curiosity about everything into the stories we tell. Chris has worked for the past 20 years at ZEBRADOG in a variety of roles and is an essential part of the ZEBRADOG Executive Leadership team. He applies his well-honed cat-herding skills to wrangling two active kids and sprucing up a house with a long honey-do list. When he is not rebuilding a fire pit for the patio he can be found on one of Wisconsin’s many lakes, exploring the great outdoors, or playing music.

They say you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl. As a kid growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, Caroline learned a thing or two about hard work and dedication. After visiting Madison a number of times on trips to the “city”, she knew this was where she wanted to be and would eventually find herself studying design at UW – Madison. Caroline earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in design and became a lecturer for the School of Human Ecology. For the last 20 years she has been applying the same farm girl work ethic to the design projects she manages; reshaping environments to be more engaging, dynamic, and powerful in achieving the goals of her clients.
