    Mark M.

    Hi there! I’m Mark and I’m the founder of Squared One.

    I have worked with the Minecraft Marketplace since the beginning of 2018 and I just recently had my four year anniversary! During my time at the Marketplace, I’ve been fortunate enough to gather extensive knowledge of all the ins and outs through my work with several amazing partners.

    My first endeavor into the unknown started at Pixel Squared back in 2018. Here I worked as the main project lead for around 18 months. During my time with Pixel, I helped lay out the foundation for their entire product pipeline. We recognized a need to move away from doing skins exclusively, and through spearheaded management we managed to successfully launch several “maps”. My time with Pixel Squared definitely laid most bedrock in my career at the Marketplace.

    Prior to applying for my independent partnership I worked at Shapescape as project coordination manager. Besides being involved with essentially every project in the period 2019 to 2021, developing several best-selling concepts, and helping restructure the entire production pipeline flow, I also had the amazing opportunity to help launch the company’s first office in Hamburg! It was a tough start but we managed to successfully navigate through the storm and 2021 eventually became Shapescape’s best year ever. Shapescape and its amazing people helped shape my present business profile!

    Now, I work with tons of freelancers from all over the globe through Squared One. We have several unique and exciting things lined up for the marketplace and we plan on bringing a whole new audience through our established partnerships with large content creators!


    I am honored to have been a consistent part of the Marketplace almost since its beginning.

  • “Mark was responsible for many of the innovative projects and ideas which led to the success of Shapescape in 2021. Having worked closely as managers, I can confidently say his work ethics, innovative ideas, and management skills makes him and his team a great addition to the marketplace.”

    Merwan Keller, Director & Founder Tsunami Studios

  • "Having previously worked with Mark both as a member of a team and also within management roles together, I have experienced him develop large-scale projects end to end, with innovative and fun twists and high levels of detail bringing a new depth to Minecraft Marketplace projects. He is very creative, shown both through his previous Marketplace work. I have no doubt that Mark and the skills he brings in managing his new team would be an ideal addition to the Minecraft Marketplace; the quality of the projects that they will bring will bring entertainment and connection across many different communities inside and outside of the game."

    Vanessa Pearson, Formerly Everbloom Studios, Cyclone, Shapescape, Blockworks

  • "Mark is both innovative and can think grand, an ideal combination when changes are needed and fresh ideas need to be built up and set in motion."

    August Gade, CEO Shapescape

  • "Squared One always has a solution to business, produces content with a striking “wow factor”, and has an incredible team work ethic. Their determination and innovative perspective is immensely refreshing."
