Marin is a designer and researcher, specialising in multi-disciplinary design combining textiles, biology and architecture. She is particularly interested in 'smart' materials, more specifically, the intrinsic qualities within these materials that have been engineered to be intelligent and that are high-tech but that are elegant, minimal, versatile and not flooded by electronics.

She previously studied at the Architectural Association for her BA (Hons), Architecture and RIBA part1. She spent several years in Tokyo working on various fashion, web, interior and lighting design projects as well as several projects for the renowned architects office, Kengo Kuma and Associates, which led her to explore her passion for material structures culminating in a master's degree at Central Saint Martins entitled Design For Textile Futures, from which she has graduated with distinction.
