I’m Mark Serrano - the creator of the Tape Eater App, Design Cloud Pro, and the renowned MixtapeMonkey. I turn ideas into engaging online experiences and craft beautiful aesthetics.
I'm a digital creator using skills from several digital mediums like graphic design, web development, and photography. I'm often inspired by beautiful ads, iconic movies, great music, and stunning architecture.
Early life - I was born in California where my mother escaped the civil war in El Salvador. I bounced around city to city at first for survival, then for a place I could call home, and now enjoying the peace of living minimally anywhere life decides for me.
I started my journey in sketching, film photography, and customizing MySpace profiles. I knew from an early age that all I ever wanted to do was live in the city and create things that millions of people would use.

Music
Taste
Music has shaped my life from the very beginning. I grew up hearing stories about riding in the back of lowriders in California, calm as ever with the speakers turned all the way up. As a kid, I recorded radio mixes onto old cassette tapes and burned CDs just to keep the soundtrack going.
After filling every iPod and MP3 player I owned, I took things further and built MixtapeMonkey; a free music catalog that grew to host over 5,000 mixtapes and server over 18 million user worldwide. Not long after, I created Tape Eater, an iPhone MP3 player designed to give fans a way to organize and share the music you couldn’t find anywhere else.
