About
Hi, I'm Matthew 👋
I've worked across agencies, in-house teams, and startups, handling everything from brand development and campaign design to production design and prepress. I have experience adapting conceptual designs for print, packaging, and signage, and fine-tuning creative workflows for consistency and efficiency. Whether I'm managing creative services, building out a design system, or optimizing a landing page, I focus on delivering work that's both effective and execution-ready.
When I'm not designing, I'm probably in the ocean. I've been surfing since I was a kid and still get out whenever I can. I love exploring the outdoors with my family, and I paint and play music (fiddle and ukulele) in my spare time. You can see some of my artwork at olearystudios.com.
