“Every time I saw creative from Matthew I saw something I had never seen before. Not only by him, but by anyone. His design sense his top-notch. His drive to constantly evolve his design sensibilities is unreal. And his ability to craft even the seemingly mundane project into a beautiful creative piece is inspiring. But it is his ability to allow the marketing strategy of the project drive that creative that makes Matthew a valuable asset to any creative team.”

Gregory Ng, VP, Creative Director,

Brooks Bell Interactive managed Matthew at Brooks Bell Interactive

“I feel that one of the marks of a great designer is someone who gets home from a long day at work, and continues to design. Whether through his print website (www.thepintseries.com), his design blog, (www.octobermigration.com) or his regular emails touting the latest trends in design and design technology, Matthew’s passion for his work really shows. Matthew is also a very thoughtful designer. He’s got a reason behind every font choice, every color, every detail in his work. But, being a perpetual student of design, he’s not afraid to take criticism and learn from other people. Matthew would make a great addition to a design team that is looking for a seasoned expert with an open mind.”
