Matthew R. Marino
Industrial Designer
The only thing between imagination & reality is determination"
From the age of five I was obsessed with inventing and sketching doodles of robots that could help my grandmother around the house. Now at 2o years old I have improved upon my passion to create and am determined to turn my creativity into a career. My design style can be defined as user-oriented, minimalist, and experimentally innovative-all while staying environmentally conscious. I am an extremely determined person and will never give up on an idea no matter how many times it fails. My designs are well thought out with great attention to the smallest of details. I take my work very personally and will carry it with me throughout my everyday life. I often take inspiration from abstract concepts such as transforming the shape of a calculus graph function into the focal point of a collapsible table. My biggest design influences are Google, Jony Ive, Dieter Rams, Leonardo Da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright, Kanye West, and Shiro Kuramata. I pride myself on my diversity and will draw from multiple fields in order to create a practical, well-rounded, aesthetic product.
