UMD Alumnus Raises the Bar

As president and founder of 3five Designs, Martin Sawinski built his design and marketing firm to raise the bar — to provide clients an opportunity to be recognized in the marketplace in a way that sets them apart from the competition. His business provides unparalleled graphic design, web development, mobile apps, email marketing, print & digital products, as well as a full gamut of design and marketing services

Trained in graphic design and studio arts at the University of Minnesota Duluth, this perpetual opportunity-seeker and world-traveler works to improve the community in which he lives and pursuses his livelihood.

In 2009 he was recognized as Fuse Duluth's "Person of the Year" as a young professional who both flourishes in business and gives back to his community. Shortly thereafter, Martin was named one of the Duluth News Tribunes 20 under 40, to recognize his commitment to making Duluth a better place through social entrepreneurialism, supporting his peers and vision for a diversely prosperous community.

Martin lives in the West End of Duluth, along with his wife and two kids. In his spare time he enjoys spending quality time with his family, partaking in any activities that can be preceded by "extreme–", and restoring historical properties. src: www.3five.com
