Robin Martini is a Designer and macro photographer interested in natural images that inspire her designs. She is Executive Director of the non-profit and works with artisans in low income countries.  Her work has shown that artisan development has provided economic well-being that allows artists to live longer but as they age, they develop vision problems that require care but guess what, there are no eye doctors.  She runs the gallery store which hosts artisan products from 37 countries and acts as a waiting room at Global Retina Institute.
