BILL MACGOWAN  After graduating with an Art History degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Bill took to the high seas, sailing on a variety of boats to develop a deep passion for the sea and boating. Since 1983, when he founded Mac Designs as a graphic design and signage company servicing the America's Cup syndicates in Newport, Bill has become one of the marine industry's most respected go-to, get-it-done designers. The portfolio of work that Mac Designs has developed over the past 30 years embodies a wide cross-section of projects and challenges.
