Let me take a moment to introduce myself.
My name is Bob Martin and I am originally from the United States, although I have lived in several different countries.
My story starts with a deep desire and undying passion to become a Fashion Designer. I decided to step out and pursue a Career in the Fashion Design Industry. Having no prior Fashion Education, I moved to London England and attended a fashion University there. During my schooling I was awarded the Full “Founders Scholarship” and “Outstanding Student in Fashion” Award. I graduated Valedictorian of my class among some talented classmates which included Christian Siriano, winner of Project Runway.
In London I earned an American and British Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design, and went on to become a Studio Supervisor in the Fashion Department at AIU.
It is here where I learned how to relate with students, and meet them on a level they could understand and flourish in. I thoroughly enjoy helping to awake the Designer in others. Learning to Design is such an amazing experience, and to be part of this and see it happening in other people, I have found is truly rewarding.
I have also acquired a wide array of Industry experience, some of which includes:
-
Work as a Freelance Designer
-
Designing for a Boutique in London
-
Work with Fashion Designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Michael Azu,and Edward Griffiths, as well as others.
-
Design for film, such as, Tim Burton’s "Sweeney Todd" and "Batman Dark Knight"
-
Theater in Italy
-
Professionally Designed Projects for Bernina of America Inc.
-
Design and Development of the brand “Heel Jacket”
My time working with and helping students in workshops is what sparked my interest to teach and mentor. I have a strong passion to see the very best come out in people. This is exactly why I created “How To Fashion Design” DVD Program. This program is a unique tool to be used to produce the Greatest Fashion Designers ever known in the Fashion World.
I want to see individuals flourish beyond what has ever been seen before and to be inspired to Design, with astounding results.
