Hello I'm Mars Tovar!

Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. It's all about the quality of those connections.

With 16 years of diverse experience in product design, visual design, and UX, I’ve had the privilege of crafting interactive experiences and visual designs for renowned brands like Disney, Microsoft, and NBC Universal. From launching the Reading Rainbow App to partnering with teams at YouTube and Apple, my journey has been fueled by a passion for emerging tech and meaningful experiences. Currently serving as Principle Product Designer at Folx Health, I work with talented team in creating impactful design solutions.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I actively contribute to initiatives promoting equity in tech, education accessibility, and social justice. As a co-organizer of the Queer Tech Club in Chicago, I foster a supportive community for LGBTQIA+ professionals. I’ve also shared my insights through speaking engagements and teaching collaboration.

Experience Highlights:
• Launched brand new website and member account for FOLX Health
• Led award-winning creative teams at WeberShandwick SF
• Spearheaded the launch of Shoprunner’s new brand identity and design system
• Collaborated with top design studios and tech companies in the LA, SF, and Chicago

Let’s connect and collaborate on driving meaningful change in the tech industry and beyond.
