Heide Martin

Heide is the design force behind Heide Martin Design Studio, from the design of furniture and housewares to the nitty-gritty of web page layout, marketing materials, and invoice templates. She loves learning new skills and new materials to bring into her design arsenal. In the workshop, you will find her happiest when she is doing lumber selection, cutting precise joinery, weaving a chair seat, or putting on that first coat of oil finish.

Alongside her woodworking practice, Heide pursues her commitment to craft through creative collaborations, residencies, grants, publishing, and teaching. Heide has been a resident and visiting artist at San Diego State University, Maine College of Art and Design, Center for Art in Wood, and Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. Her teaching experience includes furniture design at Escuela de Artes y Oficios Santo Domingo, as well as assistantships at the University of Washington and Center for Furniture Craftsmanship.
