Curious about who we are, and why Oddshapes was created?
My name is Martin. I am the founder of Oddshapes. I am an industrial designer with competencies in all phases of the design process. I love working with design in all its forms and I'm passionate about my profession.
Prior to Oddshapes Studio, I have 5 years of experience in the interior and furniture industry, both as a full-time employee and as a freelancer, which has made me able to assist with almost everything within interior design. With my broad creative and technical profile, I can delve deep into the design process and create beautiful, unique, and exciting products that also meet your requirements, align with your branding, and ultimately can be realized in production. My experience also includes an understanding of cost sensitivity, so I understand the need for solutions that are feasible within budget constraints.
Even though my expertise and previous experience primarily lie in the interior industry, I don't shy away from tasks in other sectors. I'm always up for a new challenge and approach all kinds of tasks with professionalism, thoroughness, curiosity, and openness. With a bachelor's degree in integrated design engineering and a master's degree in industrial design, I have skills so that I can communicate, understand, and solve problems in many industries based on your needs and those of your stakeholders.
Oddshapes was started with the desire to work on design and product development without compromise, with the possibility to give every project the time and attention it deserves. I strive to find the best solutions for clients and their stakeholders through a thorough and well-executed process.
Not to brag, but I believe I have some extremely strong competencies that many could benefit from, and just to mention a few;
Design process and tools - Effective and tangible methods, as well as project management.
Creative brain - Ideation, brainstorming and general creativity and problem solving.
Trendspotting - Always up-to-date on trends and movements in different product categories
Sketching - Sketching and illustration, functionality, form and detail sketches, and concept illustrations.
3D CAD - 3D modelling and parametric design through Fusion 360, Rhino3D & Grasshopper.
CGI - Realistic and high quality renders and animations through Blender
Technical knowledge - Technical documentation, and production know-how.
