Matthew Angelo Martino

Home is:

Where my family eats, sleeps and plays.

Describe yourself in 5 words:

Fun, creative, thoughtful, unique, interesting

What do you do?

I design spaces, buildings and be creative.

How did you get into this field of work?  

I studied Architecture and have worked in design since I finished secondary school ( known as HSC back then). I love design, love houses and was designing them, literally when I was 7. My career has evolved and I have become wiser and therefore more confident as I grow older. I couldn’t imagine living in world where I wasn’t creative or designing something. It's my sport, my passion and my job.

What is the best thing about your job?

Seeing things go from inside my head to really there. It also continually evolves both is what I produce, to how I produce it. No day is ever the same, no project ever alike. And its fun.

What is your favourite White & Co product & why?

I can’t get enough of the Cararra marble anything and pairing it with the Flax ceramic range. Something about the colour palette and combination I love. Wouldn’t mind a men’s version of those comfy pants though.
