Martin brings over two decades of invaluable media experience in architecture and interior design to his role as Director of Marketing and Communications.

Hailing from Berlin, Germany, he relocated to England in his early twenties, where he met his wife. Their shared fascination with Canada during a vacation led them to make a permanent move in 2001.

He has held management positions with respected publications such as AZURE Magazine, Canadian Architect, and Canadian Interiors. For the past 17 years, he served as the Senior Publisher of Canadian Interiors magazine, overseeing not only the magazine’s print publication but also its eNewsletter and social media channels.

His accomplishments in the industry are extensive and varied. He has been a driving force behind the success of numerous publications and initiatives, including serving as the publisher for the Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) association news update and print media news. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in promoting and celebrating excellence in interior design through his involvement as the official publisher of the annual ARIDO association awards magazine from 2007 until 2023.
