Hi, I’m Matt.
I’m a New York-based Product Designer + Design Technologist spearheading Rakuten’s design system. I’ve also built systems and features for Angi, 17seconds, Understood, and Lovesac, among others. My best work (and the most fun I have as a designer) comes from empowering others to do their best work, building products for equity + inclusion, and finding ways to revive the Wild West joy of Web 1.0 in today’s internet.
Feel free to reach out about talks, conferences, or just to say hi!
