Mark Strehlow

Strategic creative leader shaping the intersection of emerging technology and design.

Now

I’ve spent over 20 years designing and building consumer products with a simple goal: take disruptive technology and make it relevant, useful, and easy to use for everyday people.

My career spans the evolution from early web, mobile, and social media platforms, to AI-native and decentralized systems. Since 2013, I’ve focused on AI-driven consumer products; since 2020, on Web3 and blockchain, bringing these technologies together through a strong foundation in product strategy, UX design, and brand creative. I currently advise startups and work as a consultant with leadership teams on product vision, experience strategy, and the responsible application of emerging technologies.
