Mark Guarino

I entered the design profession as a graphic designer while attending the Boston Architectural Center (College). My first position was with a corporate art department and and from there, moved on to become Art Director of a Boston media design firm. I went on to work for a large Cambridge architectural firm as a draftsman while continuing with classes at night. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture, I joined another Cambridge architectural firm as a designer and worked on a range of corporate and residential projects.

But missing the pace, diversity of projects and greater creative control experienced while working as a graphic designer, led me to forming a graphics division of the architectural firm. Within a few years this grew and became an independent company; Guarino Design Group, Inc. 

With the help of many very talented employees over the years we created a wide range of graphic design solutions including corporate identity programs, all forms of print communications, advertising, environmental graphics and sign programs, and the design of interactive digital presentations and websites. 

My work with clients in the architectural, engineering and construction management community has been recognized with 35 awards at the annual Society of Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Communications Awards programs (National and Local) including Best of Show and “People’s Choice” Awards. I was also awarded Marketing Executive of the Year in 2014 by SMPS Boston.
