Hi, I'm Matt — a Staff Product Designer working from 0→1 to scale.
I've spent the past 12+ years designing digital products across startups, scale-ups and large organizations.
My work sits at the intersection of product thinking, interaction design and visual craft. I like difficult products: complicated workflows, ambiguous ideas and systems with lots of moving parts that need to feel obvious to the person using them.
Over the past few years I've worked heavily on AI-native products alongside SaaS, marketplaces and large-scale commerce. AI has also changed how I design — I increasingly use tools like Cursor to turn ideas into working product experiences, validate them directly in the interface and stay much closer to implementation than a traditional design handoff allows.
I work best with teams that want a designer who can own a problem end-to-end and care equally about what gets built, how it works and how it feels.

What i do
01
Product design
End-to-end ownership from ambiguous product problems and early exploration through UX, interaction design, visual design and shipped experiences.
02
0→1 & AI Products
Turning new product ideas, AI capabilities and complex workflows into coherent products people can understand and use.
03
Prototyping & Implementation
Using high-fidelity prototypes and AI-assisted development to explore ideas in the real interface, communicate them clearly and carry design intent further into implementation.
04
Design Systems & Interaction
Building scalable foundations while obsessing over states, behaviors, interactions and the details that make complex products feel simple.
I team up with forward-thinking businesses and ambitious startups to deliver user-centric designs that not only convert but also make a lasting impact. My expertise has helped shape digital experiences for industry titans like Keller Williams, Giant Eagle, Fairstone Group, and many more, blending purpose with pixel-perfect execution.
