I am a senior digital creative with over 20 years experience in developing innovative ways for audiences to engage with brands and products.
I have extensive experience helping businesses materialise their ideas, create processes and build informed digital teams within their companies.
I thrive on using design thinking to understand pain points, define insights, form concepts and create innovative solutions.
In terms of mobile, I have worked on a variety of products spanning across banking, leisure, cryptocurrency and ecommerce.
Additionally, I have worked on numerous web and responsive web focused briefs for major clients such as O2, Visa, HPI & HSBC.
I offer a range of visual design, UX and team management skills, and am versatile enough to fit into what is needed on the project, always collaborating positively and contributing to the best outcome for the team.
I have built up a wealth of technical knowledge and understanding of many technologies.
In recent years, I have gained significant experience within an Agile/SCRUM environment and thrive within the iterative and incremental approach required by them.

Founder / CEO at KWL​​​​​​​
I first worked with Matt in London at the IT Network during 98. I was impressed with his work ethic, skills and "can do" attitude. A year later I approached him to co-found a social media start-up with me in Sydney. 
As a Creative Director, he built and led an awesome team and was a major driving force in the design and development of our services on both web and mobile platforms. Matt has a rare mix of great creative / design skills across both old and new media combined with solid technical know-how and a pragmatic approach to solutions. 
I would work with Matt again in a heartbeat.

Des Smith
Head of Digital Delivery at O2 (Telefónica UK)​​​​​​​
Matt worked directly for me for a number of years before moving on within the company where I remained in regular contact. 
Throughout that time he was diligent, engaging and reliable. With a great eye for detail and able to understand even basic briefs with little support, I was always confident his deliveries would help drive the product forward. 
Gregory Holman
Creative Director, Graphic Designer / Art Direction.​​​​​​​
Matt grasped the briefs he was working on quickly, was proactive and built good relationships with the rest of the team in a very short space of time. He needed minimal guidance and was able to develop strong, well-polished concepts swiftly, thinking through or challenging issues of IA and UX which he raised proactively rather than waiting for a WIP meeting. 
Matt is highly personable, honest, and  professional. He is a talented and experienced designer whom I have no hesitation in recommending to another employer – I am sure he will be an asset.
