Mark Resch is a digital strategist who works with companies envisioning how they might evolve using emerging technologies to expand their business. Often, he accepts vaguely defined assignments, and makes sense of the opportunity by triangulating from the creative perspectives of business, technology, and culture. He has experience and familiarity with: the emerging new media community, mobile and wireless communication, online and ecommerce business methods and models, interactive systems that use technology like a medium -- embedding UI to create user experiences, and web and standalone application development.

He has served in a variety of chief executive positions including Creative Commons where he worked to further the "some rights reserved" philosophy. He is co-founder of Onomy Labs, Inc. Onomy Labs designs and creates evocative interactive systems that enable audiences to experience the future.

As vice president and director of computer imaging at CRSS Architects, Inc. Mark integrated CAD, GIS, FM, and visualization software to render data and space. As director of graphic arts at Computer Curriculum Corporation, he undertook the creation of more than 3,000 hours of interactive courseware for students at risk.

Mark was assistant professor of computer art in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and drafted its MFA program.
