ABOUT
Hi, I’m Matt. I’m a seasoned designer/design director specializing in branding and packaging living in Brooklyn, New York.
As a kid growing up in Maine, my love of art began with cartoons and comic books. That evolved into a love of drawing and design in high school which led me to study graphic design in college. My sources of inspiration have diversified since childhood to include travel, music (I still buy it the old fashioned way, on vinyl and CD), architecture, and a wide range of classic and modern art.
Graphic design has been an incredibly rewarding creative outlet through the years. It’s consistently exciting and challenging to work on brands in a range of industries from luxury goods to law firms, food and beverage to hotels. There's an undeniably satisfying feeling in creating designs and identity systems that are thoughtful, unique, and engaging.
