More about Martin

Design Leadership Approach

Culture of shared learning

"I aim to build a studio culture of shared learning and experimentation, where all members share insight, inspiration and knowledge, internally and externally. A range of activities help nurture a creative environment and provide continuous development. Teams are encouraged to share outputs, document processes and publish findings."

Design is a team sport

"Designers need to engage with the environment and people around them. I look for opportunities to collaborate and exchange ideas both within the design team and across disciplines. I passionately believe that design is not an elitist activity — designers may facilitate the process but everyone should be empowered to find the solution and define the outcome."
