MARTHA BECKMAN DESIGN
CONSULTING
Product design,
CMF,
merchandising strategy,
and
design systems.
OBJECTS
I design products that balance vision with manufacturability.
I move fluidly between digital tools, studio processes, and factory collaboration to shape objects that are intentional and achievable. My work spans form development, CMF direction, prototyping, and vendor alignment — ensuring the inspiration carries through to finished product.
ITERATION
I guide teams through fast, viable development cycles.
Design briefs evolve, and I help teams adapt — prototyping, revising, and refining while keeping outcomes grounded in real-world constraints. I’m skilled at identifying limitations early and using them as productive guardrails rather than obstacles.
MERCHANDISING
I shape collections that are coherent, functional and market-ready.
From pragmatic basics to concept-driven capsules, I merge a designer's eye with a merchant's sense of what lands in the market. Deep CMF expertise to keep assortments distinctive while retail experience keeps them commercially sound and grounded in brand DNA.
SYSTEMS
I build frameworks that help teams work smarter — not harder.
This includes product lines, PLM foundations, category architecture, or rethinking design direction. I develop workflows and tools informed by years of collaboration with manufacturers in Asia, Europe, and the U.S., helping teams use systems clearly and effectively.
FUTURES
I study markets, materials, and cultural signals to see what’s next.
Years of tracking retail and design trends give me a long view of how categories shift and evolve. I resist algorithmic flattening in favor of insight-driven forecasting — helping brands stay distinct, relevant, and future-ready.
INFORMATION
I turn complexity into clarity.
Whether it’s a workflow, a product system, or a wall of data, I translate it into something usable. That might be diagrams, instructions, training guides, or visual frameworks that help teams and customers make sense of what matters.
