Hi, I am Martina. I am a designer with international experience and a strong passion for performancewear and sportswear. I love when design serves high technical sports purposes and also when it becomes the starting point to lead lifestyle and outdoor inspired everyday aesthetics. I also love hand and manual machine knitting and all design products that deeply intertwine beauty and engineered functionality. When I am not designing I am an amateur speleologist, climber, rollerblader, and ski tourer in the Italian Orobic Alps.
