Welcome to the world of OSTRI locally made in San Jose, California since 2017!
My name is Marteen and I am the designer behind Oli wallets. Being an SJSU industrial design alumni I enjoy making fun and engaging products that are timeless and filled with soul. focusing on the little details and overall interaction which create a meaningful long lasting connection for years to come.
Since I can remember I was always fascinated by design. Being a Santa Cruz native I spent much of my childhood outdoors playing among the trees, and wide open grassy fields in a quiet town by the sea. This inspired me to fuse these outdoor moments with my love of technology to create an experiment which eventually became Ostri. It is here that the line between nature and our industrial world meet. It’s not just about creating the next trend but focusing on what truly is needed at the given time.
The vision of Ostri is to bring together the tangible and intangible process of design in harmony to eventually create a long lasting sustainable future.
