Hi! I’m Tristan

Hi, I’m Tristan Murff. I’m a multidisciplinary designer based in Brooklyn, and my work moves between product, interiors, and brand design. I grew up between China and Europe, studied International Business in the Netherlands, and over the years I’ve worked across tech, education, and the arts—at places like Mercedes-Benz, a few startups, and as Brand Director for author-historian Yuval Noah Harari.

In New York, I co-founded Graine Studio, where I’ve been exploring how furniture and spatial design can shape identity and human experience through projects like Silence Please and Rhythm Zero. I’m especially interested in form making, ritual, and designing objects and spaces that invite participation rather than demand attention.

At PoD, I’m here to rethink and reapproach design, expand my fabrication vocabulary, and figure out how to scale products and environments thoughtfully—from one-offs to systems.
