Martino completed five years of Architecture at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) before moving straight into design consulting work for a small Melbourne firm. After quickly realising he possessed the ability to consult directly to clients, Martino established his own design business with a colleague and was responsible for many small to medium residential and commercial Melbourne based projects.
In 2002, Martino's focus shifted to hospitality and interior design and he left his architecture-based business to pursue other ventures. This, in turn, allowed Martino to focus on his artwork which until this time had remained a hobby. A strong architectural and schematic influence is present in Martino's current works.
This year, Martino has again begun to consult directly to key clients on concept design. |
