Hello there.

Hi, I'm Matt. I'm a creative director. Which works out well for me because I love what I do. I love creativity, concepting, refining strategy and the work until its laser focused, and presenting ideas. Probably because I like to help solve problems. Big problems, little problems – I'm here for them all. Over my career I've been fortunate enough to work with some amazing teams of creative problem solvers and have that work recognized by the Cannes Lions, One Show, Clio Awards, National Addy's, Shorty Awards, Communication Arts, Adweek, Advertising Age, and others.

Besides agency and freelance work, I've been an instructor at Miami Ad School and served as a mentor for the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota.
