About
I’m a creator, builder, and student based in Utah. I love blending hands-on craftsmanship with modern design and development to bring ideas to life both on-screen and in the real world.
Hello there
Hi, I'm Marcus — a maker who loves building things that feel simple, useful, and real
I’m currently studying business and technology at BYU while running Old Chief Leather Co. and converting an old ambulance into a tiny home on wheels. Whether it’s a website, a leather wallet, or a living space, I care about clean lines, honest materials, and thoughtful details.
My background mixes design, web development, woodworking, and hands-on building. I enjoy learning new tools, solving practical problems, and creating things that people actually use—from digital experiences to physical products that can be held, worn, or lived in.
