More about Matt
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of companies, from early-stage startups to established enterprises, across various industries. This has given me a unique perspective on the product design process and has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of what it takes to create user-centered products that meet both business and user needs.
I live in Washington, D.C. with my wife, Rebecca and my pup, Micah, an energy-packed pandemic puppy whose primary goal is mischief ;)
When I'm not designing, you can find me spending time outside with my dogs, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or checking out one of the many Smithsonian museums for the tenth time. I believe that staying curious and seeking inspiration from diverse sources is key to creating innovative and impactful designs.
