Mark Hargrove

I graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (BFA) in Graphic Communication and have received a Masters of Science degree (MS), Summa Cum Laude, in Instructional Technology from the University of Houston Clear Lake.

Prior to opening Hargrove Design Group, I served as the Art Director for several national and international magazines, as well as the Creative Director of a Houston-based advertising agency. Although my primary professional focus is Hargrove Design Group, I also a partner in Optemax, a company that specializes in e-marketing programs.

As an active member in a number of professional and community organizations, I speaks at workshops and seminars introducing the basics of good graphic design and how to work with the graphic design and printing industry. I also am an instructor at The Art Institute of Houston where, for the past 10 years, have guided students in the design and execution of multimedia projects using the industry's most current technology.
