Biography
Mark Vanco was born in Columbus, Ohio, USA. His father was a designer and engineer who had been responsible for the development of a diverse array of breakthrough products between the 1940s and '60s, amongst which were pre-fabricated and solar-heated homes, plastic interlocking blocks and prosthetic limb designs for the U.S. military. Like his father, Vanco's desire to innovate as well as to inspire others has lead him on an ongoing search for balance between the development, creation and implementation of his creative vision. Some of Vanco's firsts are a blending of two disciplines like his ‘streetwearable’ computer design from 1996 as well as his early use of videogame themes in fashion.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
