Design Appy
Maria Martin is an interior designer based in Austin, Texas, and a 2019 ASID Ones to Watch Scholar.

After spending years designing interiors, she pivoted into creating solutions for improved client-focused experiences, founding Design Appy, a program that transforms iPads into mobile design studios. Maria was featured in recent Forbes, Fast Company and Architectural Digest articles investigating the intersection of Generative AI and design, leveraging ChatGPT and innovative technologies to refine industry standards. She is a co-host of the Designer Discussions podcast, focusing on marketing, branding, PR, and business advice for designers.
