Systems

Dr. Martin Lorenz (1977, Hanover, Germany) is the grandson, son, and nephew of teachers. His escape plan from this family tradition was to become a graphic designer. 

He graduated from the Graphic Design department at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) of The Hague, Netherlands, after studying communication design at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, Germany. While founding the design Studio TwoPoints.Net with Lupi Asensio and raising two boys, he enrolled first in a Master’s Degree and later in a Ph.D. Degree at the University of Barcelona, Spain, writing a doctoral dissertation about flexible visual systems in communication design. 

Martin became a teacher in 2003. He has taught at dozens of European Universities since then. He currently teaches at the Bachelors and Masters Degree of Graphic Design of Elisava, Barcelona, and the Film Academy of Ludwigsburg. He is also the Conversational Design Lead at the Not-For-Profit organisation Dark Matter Labs and a partner of TwoPoints.Net and Coding Systems.
