Before founding design studios in the UK, Mac was a research member at the Living Architecture Systems Group in Toronto, a post-graduate student at UCL's Bio-integrated Design Lab, and has worked at internationally acclaimed architecture firms. His work has been shown at the Lisbon Triennale, London Design Festival, Venice Biennale, Coachella, and other international design exhibitions.
