Hello.
My name is Matt.

I am a creative Swiss Army Knife.

Solutions-oriented.

Maker and leader.

With a background as a hybrid art director, designer, and photographer, I am currently an Associate Creative Director at AKQA leading teams across parallel workstreams, mentoring growth in young talent, partnering with clients, and proactively pushing work by finding opportunities to go beyond the brief. I am also a mentor with the 2022 AIGA Mentorship Program.

I like to make good work, and you can bet your sweet bippy that I bust my booty to make it happen.
