ABOUT ME

My name is

Martin Ma

I am a passionate product designer based in Los Angeles, California. With over 10 years of experience in graphic design, fashion photography, and art direction, I have helped organizations solve complex problems by generating thoughtful and creative visual designs – ultimately magnifying the brand’s visibilities by amplifying their stories.

I am a hands-on leader with strong communication skills, and have an expansive understanding of marketing, brand objectives, and consumer needs. With over a decade of creative experience, I have developed a “gut” feeling that acts as my design compass to navigate through this messy Information Era. Combining it with a user-centered mindset and sensitivity, I drive UX features and UI designs from concept to release, making complex interactions approachable, intuitive, and user-centered. As a former Senior Art director and UX designer for Adobe, As the former creative director for J.ING, a women apparel company, I have diligently developed a distinctive identity for the up-and-coming fashion brand with assets such as editorial campaign, e-com photo, visual design, site layout/wireframe, print collateral, etc …  

When I am not working, you will likely find me drinking coffee, hiking, or hanging out with my wife and our dog, Pepper, by the beach under the beautiful California sky.

Brandi Ortiz has been featured in local, national, and international publications and won awards for editorial art direction. The Brandi Ortiz Studio is synonymous with personal expression.

From the debut author who just released a bestseller to the aspiring model creating their first portfolio, Brandi Ortiz helps you tell your story through light and airy photos.

“Brandi made me feel very comfortable during our portrait session. I’m usually shy in front of the camera, but Brandi was able to bring out my true personality. My new headshots will help me put my best foot forward. I can’t recommend Brandi enough!!”
