My name is Maricla Kandzorra Martelli and I am born in Darmstadt, Hesse in Germany, and I have the Italian nationality. My parents immigrated from Matera, Italy in 1971 to Darmstadt which is close to Frankfurt. Since I am Italian and my father came from arts as he made his diploma in arts at the state art institute of Bari in 1961 (which now is named Accademia di Belle Arti), I was already very early introduced to the beauty of our world. So it is only reasonable that I now serve as a comprehensive product leader with end-to-end responsibility across the entire product lifecycle, from strategic vision through customer delivery. What means that this is still today my source of creativity which I now can live out in my designs of products, and have the opportunity to sell and share the beauty with you. By managing the complete value chain—from customer research and trend analysis to material selection, design execution, manufacturing coordination, and market launch—I ensure consistency in our mission to deliver traceable, ethically produced goods that align with the values of our conscious consumer base.
