“Matt is a highly creative, strategic and motivated creative leader. Matt contributed a great deal to our organization during his tenure, including some very successful product development launches, and it was a loss when he moved on to his next opportunity.”

“I'm writing this as one of Matt's many under appreciated qualities is his humility. As Matt would never employ braggadocio, I felt compelled to do so on his behalf. A resume would tell you about Matt's thoroughness in brand, strategy, and design and allude to his creative chops. All of this is true. What a resume would miss is Matt's compassion, empathy, collaboration, ability to get the best out of you and others and last but not least, his indefatigable positive spirit! Many people are all captions, no action; Matt is a doer and someone you want on your team!”
– Mark Burrell, Co-Founder Weldon, Co-founder Tongal
