- Liam Martin is a Brooklyn-based designer and visualization specialist, originally from the rolling hills of Kentucky. His work lives at the intersection of infrastructure, ecology, and storytelling, shaped by a lifelong love of music, craft, and the quiet attentiveness of making. From Shaker design to sewing and tailoring, from electronic music production to cooking, baking, and long, wistful walks, Liam draws on practices that celebrate rhythm, materiality, and connection.
He is the cofounder of Superinfra, a design-research practice exploring how form and phenomenology can foster resilient futures, and the founder of Formaverity, a visual practice built on a strongly held belief that kindred spirits connect and create meaning together. Previously, he was part of the visualization team at COOKFOX Architects, where he helped shape imagery for award-winning projects such as Google’s 550 Washington Street campus and the adaptive reuse of Chelsea’s Terminal Warehouse.
Across his work, Liam seeks to bridge the speculative and the built, holding empathy, equity, and environmental justice as essential forms of design intelligence.
My practice grew out of a joy in learning and making. From practicing wind instruments and singing in choirs, to the spatial reasoning of marching band, to hiking Kentucky’s hills and gardening alongside my mother, grandmother, and sisters. I learned early how curiosity and wonder fuel creativity and connection. In architecture school we are taught that light, color, material, and history can turn limitations into possibilities, but my professional experiences have reinforced my belief that empathy and optimism are just as essential as craft.
The name and guiding concept of Formaverity honors my grandmother Verity, a writer, teacher, and gardener who built her life around collaboration and celebrating the beauty of shared practices. That spirit continues in my work: clear in vision, adaptable in process, and committed to supporting people with sincerity and imagination.
In architecture and beyond, I resist the tendency to strip emotion and sentimentality from creative work. Storytelling, being rooted in both truth and invention, guides everything I do.
