I produce holistic brand experiences. This includes: digital products: web sites, apps, and video content. As well as services and organizational designs: plans that make companies more happy and efficient. I'm a hybrid; equal parts product manager, designer, and creative producer. In all, my great strength is seeing the big picture and identifying the building blocks to realize it. I enjoy managing all aspects of product development. Information architecture, digital storytelling, and building talented and interdisciplinary teams are my specialities.
My experience is largely in e-commerce and entertainment, although I am passionate about any project or product that helps people, pets, or the planet.
I enjoy working with clients and collaborators from all over the world and specialize in making remote teams efficient and satisfying for all parties. I'm equally happy working onsite as well.
For fun, I love to travel, garden, scuba dive, and cook for my family (two dogs, one human).
"I worked closely with Matthew on two projects, a music video where he acted as producer, and a new men's fashion e-commerce concept where he acted as a combination Product Manager, UX Designer, and Creative Director. Matthew lead both projects from conception through execution. He has an amazing blend of "big picture" thinking, an uncanny knack for simplifying everything such that it seems obvious, and the ability to drive ideas into high quality yet practical implementations. His diverse ways of looking at problems and empathizing with all types of people make him an excellent leader. I would recommend him highly."
"As the founder of We Radiate, Matthew was the Product Manager of the three person team assisting in the creation of our beautifully designed website. He explained the UX design process in a clear, understandable manner and was incredibly helpful and respectful.
With great organizational capacity, he led his team to deliver under extreme time constraints a number of key strategic items: brand image survey, well-designed site map, and final report discussing results and next steps. It was a pleasure to work with Matthew, as he and his team exceeded expectations."
"Matthew is a natural leader, and an organizational phenom. His interpersonal skills and management experience make him invaluable to any team. As Product Manager, he excelled at leading our team in providing the greatest value possible to our client. Matthew was particularly impressive when it came to managing the clients expectations, keeping the project on schedule, and adapting on-the-fly. Along with his management skills Matthew is also a fantastic visual designer and information architect, with a strong eye for emphasizing the most valuable information and drawing focus to key points through sound usage of design principles. His ability to fold all of these skills into an open, accessible personality, makes Matthew an asset to any team. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Matthew again."
"Matthew is a strategic, organized and intuitive product manager and information architect. Throughout our project, his calm and collected demeanor set the tone for our group; and his innate creativity and eye for design guided our work. Matthew was always aware of the big picture and kept a finger on the pulse of each detail. His understanding of the project scope and attention to detail, allowed him to seamlessly organize our research, site features, and content into a cohesive finished product. I highly recommend Matthew, and would jump at the chance to work with him again!"
