An Ohio native, Martine’s journey began at Fort Hayes with commercial photography studies, leading her to a BFA in Interior Design from the Columbus College of Art and Design. Her love for travel fueled experiences throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America and South Africa shaping her design perspective. Back in her Ohio roots, she started honing her skills at LBrands and ASG before embarking on a successful 14-year career at Express leading the Store Design and Construction team. There, she completed projects across the US, Middle East, and Latin America. Nowadays when she’s not in Columbus you can find her in the woods in northern Ohio, her cottage in the Catskills, or planning her next faraway travels. Share your travel stories – she’s always ready to swap tips and tricks!
