Today, Martyn's elite clientele includes Kendall Jenner, the Kardashians, Tommy Hilfiger, Ellen Pompeo, and Eva Mendes. Known for his appearances on Bravo’s 'Million Dollar Decorators' and as the host of Channel 4’s 'Hollywood Me' in the UK, Martyn's talents have taken him across 65 countries on various design programs.
