Pocket - Martyn is a user centred design consultant specialising in 'human interaction(translate- "advise on how to design stuff so normal people can use it-even the dumb ones") in Canberra Australia.He graduated from university in 1996 with an advertising degree with a dream to be a creative director of some multi national ad agency- got disillusioned, went back to study fashion design, got disillusioned again and changed focus, worked a variety of IT and design based jobs but really would love to throw it all in and design action figures:)
Martyn has a passion for people and how they engage one another; he is also quite the mad little shopper and has a weakness for anything compact in black/brushed metal. He loves cartoons, comics, action figures and bleeding edge technology and rarely shops retail because Australia is so far behind in cool stuff.
