About

I'm Matt.

I design visual systems for sports and entertainment brands — gamification, product UI, brand identity, and the marketing that moves them. Currently Lead Designer at Sweet.io, where I work on NHL and MLS projects. Based in Northville, Michigan.

I work across the full creative stack — strategy through execution. That means I can take a brand from a blank page to a launched product without handing it off three times along the way.
