I was born in Canada, where I studied art and architecture and worked as a graphic designer and consultant. In 1993 I moved from Toronto to Dunedin, New Zealand, where I taught design at the University of Otago for 25 years (markmcguire.wordpress.com). I have a strong interest in open education. I am working on improving my street photography. I am mark_mcguire on Instagram and I blog at Substack (substack.com/@markmcguire). My website is at www.markmcguire.net
