About
Welcome :)      
I’m Matt, a multidisciplinary designer prioritizing the user at every step. Learning within an amazing community of makers and artists, I’ve always strived to learn new skills that’ll help any team I’m on to succeed. I am a passionate problem-solver and hope to share that passion with you.

He takes initiative to produce great work independently, while also responding well to guidance and feedback in team discussions. Matt is easy-going and brings professional level skills to our office."
