Renee Martin is a Lecturer in the School of Interiors. She is an architect and artist with experience in community co-design and engagement; model building in multiple media; higher education building renovation, including biology and chemistry labs and dormitory design; and experimental puppet-making and performance.

Martin is currently interested in the ongoing history of mutual survivalism and thermal adaptation, visualizing watersheds, puppets and other inhabitable and mechanical objects, and prototyping with trash. She created and produced On Maintenance at the 2022 Cincinnati Fringe Festival; presented two in-development works at the inaugural Show of Hands Puppet Festival in Cincinnati; co-designed a worker- and community-owned grocery in her neighborhood (unbuilt); and is a member of Communities United for Action, serving on the Stormwater Issues committee.
