I’m Matt. A multidisciplinary creative who’s passionate about doing impactful work with good people.
I believe that good creative needs a good story and you should never underestimate the power of a laugh or a tug on the heartstrings.
Since 2019 I’ve worked as the creative director of Washington & Jefferson College where I’ve led the creative efforts of the marketing & communication team. My blend of in-house and agency experience has fostered a perspective that allows me to understand and manage expectations and desires of various stakeholders while still bringing diverse, creative thinking.
