Hi, I’m Matt
A designer, dad, DJ, and sci-fi-inspired night-owl who loves long hikes.
Design is my day job, but curiosity is the throughline. Whether I’m exploring a new trail, building a themed DJ mix, or helping my kids discover something weird and wonderful, I’m always drawn to the systems and stories that shape how we experience the world.
What do I bring to the table?
I bring a rare combination of formal design training (MFA) and real-world adaptability across startup, agency, and corporate environments. That blend means I'm not just fluent in design principles, but also in how to apply them under different constraints and cultures. It’s a perspective that allows me to bridge creativity, structure, and business needs in ways few others can.
What can I do better than most?
I excel at jumping into the unknown and getting up to speed. I’m comfortable working in ambiguity. I pick things up quickly, organize what is unclear, and help create a clear path forward. Environments with shifting priorities or fuzzy problems bring out my strengths.
What makes me special?
I stand out through my ability to organize and elevate ideas, designs, and strategies. I build systems and frameworks that help teams work with more clarity and consistency. I also value strong collaboration, and I focus on giving and receiving feedback in a way that builds trust.
My personal brand
- A designer with strong foundations and a sense of craft
- Fast learner who thrives in ambiguous spaces
- Focused on creating structure and alignment for teams
- A collaborator who values growth, feedback, and a healthy team culture
TLDR; I am moving toward design leadership by supporting strong teams and creating clear paths forward.
