PORTRAITS IN STYLE AND CULTURE
Meet Marc Beckman, Cultural Architect
How does your sense of pride inform what you do?
My motivation is often fueled by self-challenge: me versus the world.
What do you want your legacy to be?
I want to be remembered as an innovator.
What’s your take on classic style?
Classicism is important as it provides a strong foundation to modernity.
As someone who’s written and thought extensively about the digital space, how would you define the metaverse?
The metaverse equals liberty.
“I’m a builder. I build creative and commercial platforms focused on style and design across culture.”
—Marc Beckman, Cultural Architect, @MarcBeckman
