Rich Martin
Designer • Fabricator • Builder
My work is a blend of artistry, engineering, programming, electronics, design, and fabrication. I take initial concepts, mature them, and design, engineer and fabricate the components to create prototypes and environments.
What I Do
My specialty is creating and applying computer software, in multiple artistic media, to bring any desired art piece to life. Working in collaboration with architects, designers and end users, I design, engineer, and fabricate both small and large-scale steel, wood, plastic, and glass high-impacts, art pieces, and architectural features. I use CNC manufacturing equipment, combined with state-of-the art, in-house designed computer control systems. These projects often result in new specialized equipment and highly optimized work-flows that help solve the complex design and fabrication challenges of each piece.

about me

Understanding what it is about these environments that inspires me, and how to manifest that in a design, is the first responsibility of the designer. (More...)
