Hey, I'm Zack!
I'm a graphic designer and music producer born and raised in Toronto, CA and currently based in London, UK. I am living in the UK on a Global Talent Visa for Contemporary Music and currently work as the A&R for College Music Records.
As a designer since 2014, I’ve specialized in branding, layout, typography, and graphic content for both print and social media. My professional experience is versatile and extensive, including print and digital design work for investigative journalism in film and documentary, pitch deck layout design for television networks and streaming services, responsive user interface web design, client-facing logo and branding design, and social media advertising campaigns.
As an A&R, my goal is to discover and connect with emerging talent and potential signees. Fostering close relationships with artists, I help guide them from demo phase to release day. I also use various data tools to analyze trends and maximize streams.
As a music producer, I have been releasing music under the name Makzo since 2017, accumulating over 40+ million streams and connecting with artists and labels all over the world. My music could be described as a fusion of electronic, R&B and hip hop.
I'm a driven self-learner, a proactive worker, a team player, and I'm always pushing to expand my skill set. When I'm not designing or listening to/creating music, I'm probably cooking or hanging out with friends. Thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, comments or inquiries.
