Martina Francone

I'm a Senior Product Designer specialising in media and creative tools, currently helping shape the future of music production at Native Instruments.

Outside of work, I'm just as drawn to art, design, music and film.

I grew up in the Italian Alps, surrounded by mountains and nature, before studying design and later completing an MSc in UX Design. That path took me through Sweden and Denmark, and eventually to the UK, where I've settled.

Illustration

As an artist and illustrator, I combine folk surrealism with everyday life and nature. The worlds I explore sit somewhere between memory and dream, rooted in a mix of observation and imagination.
