i contemplate the dimensions of our personal cycles—and smita reminds me that we are comprised of spinning electrons. we're in constant motion from within, while subject to all the rhythms and rotations from without
i consider our many forms of relationship, all of which maintain independent yet reciprocal trajectories, often affected by light and gravity. much less of the latter if there's a dog involved
i think about decisions—those specific, momentary, intersections of thought and time where fate leans back, watches and learns, while we swivel wildly around the sun, holding on with our toes
i daydream as much as my schedule permits, but i generally don't idle. i am a bizzling, scribbling fool, trying my best not to get too dizzy as i enjoy each and every revolution
Lacking an off-switch, Glenn Martinez enjoys work far more than a person probably should. Still, he swims in the ocean most mornings and walks down with Smita and one or more adorable fuzzy canines for most sunsets.
Dexterity and an eye for pattern can make Glenn look musical from a distance. He plays poker badly but would happily join your game. He once traded a logo for a pilot's license, will ski any hill (just hills — no more half-pipes), and yes, he has a circus. It's not even his first.
Glenn is founder of Branditecture, a strategic branding agency that has spent decades helping tech and consumer brands with strategy, messaging, and design.
He's also the creative force behind Maui-based Circus Lolo, a life-sized, live-action parody of a circus.
And with his wife Smita, Glenn cofounded Low Gravity, a Hawai'i 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to inspire fulfillment and spread joy through laughter, participation, and fun.
