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.
