Marc was a man of visión. His remarkable talent showed pasión in evey task he took. Love and energy was his modus operandis. My most vivid memory is his way of mastering Tango; most complex dance to initiate at a later time in life and which he so graciously undertook and master so well. Thank you Marc for having crossed my path. I will always cherish your smile and warm accueil. Farewell dear friend

Marc was an inspiration as his unique mind walked the fine line between creative and business. It is rare to find someone who can understand the intricacies of creativity and truly grasp how they affect business. As a "creatively driven" person myself, I very much enjoyed listening to Marc' stories about how human emotions were being used positively and negatively to push business sales and visibility.

Always asking questions and analyzing the world around him, he made others question the status quo. His project on "visual pollution", the way our eyes and minds are constantly exposed to incessant billboards and advertisements, was eye opening and made me see how our everyday lives were sometimes being subconsciously invaded by these stimuli.

Marc was a visionary and I am blessed to have known him my whole life. I cherished the moments spent talking with him and having the opportunity to listen to his advice. His success and drive inspired to pursue my own creative and artistic goals and hopefully one day meet him at the top of the mountain.

Marc will be dearly missed in our design community. He was not only a voice but he was an "authentic" man who never lost the touch of relating to one on a human scale. His art of speech and vision shall always serve as a light in my own path....I thank him for that.
