I'm Matt, a senior at GMU who is graduating in early 2024. I started my design journey through the inspiring virtual world known as Club Penguin. The immersive experiences ignited my passion for design and its potential to create meaningful change. Initially I started freelancing for multiple different clients on branding, graphic design & illustrative projects. I later landed my first position with the women-empowering startup known as WEX. Since then, I have worked on a multitude of projects all while working towards my degree.

Inspired by my early Club Penguin days, I believe in design's power to shape behavior, address pressing challenges, and enhance our lives. I aspire to inspire others, break down barriers, and create products that not only meet today's needs but also anticipate tomorrow's challenges. I aim to go beyond aesthetics and solve real-world problems through intuitive and user-centric experiences.
