Hi. I'm Matt.
I am currently a "digital nomad" and have been working as a full-stack designer for over 15 years.
I focus on solving problems for companies of all sorts: big and small and varying in industry, through design. My day-to-day is exciting and ever-evolving, but typically includes things like:
• Rapid prototyping and workflow design
• Continuous research and dual-track discovery
• High-level quarterly planning and strategy with leadership
• Establishing brand consistency across customer touch-points
• Creating Marketing collateral for trade shows, infographics, email campaigns, etc.
• Fostering relationships with our Product and Engineering partners
My favorite part about design is that it is an avenue to work and collaborate with so many smart, passionate people across a variety of disciplines. As a designer, I have the privilege of taking ideas and excitement around a project or product and mold them into something functional.
