I’m Matthew. I’m a designer from Vancouver, specialising in digital and print design. I’ve been very fortunate throughout the years to work with some pretty awesome people to grow my design and critical thinking skills. I love the nitty gritty and details of design the simple things that make design so powerful. When I’m not designing and working the 8:00am to 6:00pm hours, I’m out at the field hockey pitch either coaching some of our young up and coming sports stars or playing out our highest level. I also manage to get out on the road bike and enjoy the beauties this city has to offer. Lastly spending time with friends and family enjoying the good times.

These are just some tiny highlights of my story, but hope to get the chance to tell you more.
