Hi, I'm Matthew!

I'm a Product Designer from San Francisco, focused on creating visual, user-centric designs that improve the world.

I've always had a passion for technology, but it wasn't until my first web-development class in high-school that I found a passion for design. Falling in love with creating websites, taught me both visual design and web development skills. This newfound intersection of design and development together is how I discovered UI/UX Design.

I then took this passion to UC Davis where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Design. Since then, I've worked with design agencies, enterprise design teams, and a start up where I led design projects from 0 → 1.

My Values

Compassion

We've all been there before, where we feel lost or confused. Helping those around you can go a long way, especially when taking the time to understand others' perspectives.

Learning

I'm a huge believer that you'll often learn the most by doing. Whether it be learning how to skateboard, or how to code, you won't learn unless you make that first attempt.

Trying something new

Whether you fail or succeed, you wouldn't know unless you tried. I think we should all get out of our comfort zones and experience new things.

Hobbies / Interests

When I’m not working, you can find me building LEGO, going to concerts, or snowboarding!
