Background

About Martin Grasser

Martin Grasser is an artist and designer based in the Bay Area. He produces work in an iterative mode, isolating core concepts and expanding upon them through repetition. In 2016, Martin joined forces with strategic partner Gabrielle Muse to launch Studio Mococo. At Mococo he leads a diverse creative team focused on producing honest and ambitious brands that celebrate art in the everyday. Prior to founding Studio Mococo, Martin served as Director of Design for West, a multi-disciplinary strategy and creative studio based in San Francisco. At West, he worked on a portfolio of brands including Twitter, Rdio, Anki, and Braintree. In addition to his work at Mococo, Martin maintains a fine art and type design practice through which he explores systems, abstraction, and translation. His work has been featured on It’s Nice That, Design Milk, Design Boom and more. In 2021, his typeface Color Dot Font received a prize nomination in Experimental Work from the Tokyo TDC. During rare downtime from art, design, and type Martin fills the silence with his family, films, and podcasts.
