Why master one discipline when you can master them all? Graphis Master Martin Gran and his firm, Snøhetta, are the “jack of all trades” of the design world, with hands in every specialty from architecture to product design.
Martin Gran is a partner at Snøhetta, an architecture and design firm with its headquarters in Oslo, Norway. With degrees in management, psychology, and sociology, and twenty-three years’ experience within brand-driven communication, architecture, and design environments and projects, Martin is a versatile and professional leader. His deep interest in the human mind, combined with commercial understanding and ability, makes him a strategic asset to organizations and design projects. His professional career spans from being the Scandinavian Design Group’s new business director and strategic advisor to acting as strategic lead for McCann Erickson New York. He has also been a strategic planner at Leo Burnett and an account director at Leo Burnett. Martin also regularly lectures and gives talks all over the world.
Although Martin Gran is, perhaps, best known for his work in architecture, he also brings his expertise to every detail of his clients’ design identities, including interior design, branding, and so much more. With his unique educational foundation, Gran adapts to a wide variety of projects with ease. His thoughtfulness and attention to detail ensures that each product, whether it be a building or a banknote, ingeniously pushes beyond all expectations. As Fritz Gottschalk, graphic designer at Gottschalk+Ash Int’l says, “It’s encouraging to come across work by Martin Gran/Snøhetta in today’s world. For Martin, the sky is literally the limit; his work is ahead of everything. All I can say is: Bravo! Keep it up!”
