A bit about me
In brief
Born in London, living in Leicester (via Dubai, Luton, and Canterbury), I’m a maker at heart — from deep craft in creating usable, friendly software, to building furniture for my garden.
Blurring the lines between creative director and designer, providing creative leadership, strategy and hands on design, through trust, empathy and human-centred thinking — creating remarkable customer experiences rooted in the story of the brand.
I have more than 25 years experience working with in-house teams and agencies, partnering with brands such as the BBC, Everyone TV, Sky, YouView O2 and Oxfam.

“Matt loves the craft of design, he’s deeply insightful, empathetic and a fantastic storyteller to boot.
He excels at making sense of complex design challenges… his extensive experience in product design and leadership meant that he was able to hit the ground running with diligence and drive to succeed… His approach facilitates an intelligent and agile way of working which really suited the needs of a complex strategic project.
