Mark’s purpose is to lead, inspire, and create growth for people, businesses and brands. His diverse experience spans multiple industries and markets working with multinational corporations to small and medium sized businesses. Mark evolved the original business model from management consulting to a full service consulting agency; Sentius. The lack of sleep from running an agency is made up for by the inspiring Sentius team, meditation, exercise, constant caffeine, and continual focus on balance. Three things Mark does not do are: waiting in lines, travel on trams and dancing (unless after midnight).

Mark is truly a global citizen with residency in the United States, Romania and Australia. His favourite city in the world? Athens. The Parthenon feels like stepping through a time portal.

Vivy’s favourite part of being a designer is getting to design beautiful websites and digital assets for clients from a wide range of businesses and industries. She loves the diversity of work at Sentius – no two days are ever the same! When she’s not in the design studio, you’ll find Vivy expanding her plant collection (we hear she has WAY too many), or dreaming of escaping Melbourne winter to swim with sea turtles. A few years back Vivy hiked to Mount Everest base camp. She is convinced she has walked enough for this lifetime, and now refuses to walk up any hill.
Sheng is a rarity in the digital marketing industry with design and developer capabilities, aka a digital diamond. Sheng wears many hats when it comes to website builds, working closely with client leads on strategy development, designing and building websites. According to Sheng, the best part about working in digital is "everything on the internet is considered research." When not deep in code, she is the model Melburnian; she enjoys waking up with a coffee, cycling, yoga, painting and keeping her plants alive.
