Matt is a creative guru. The quality and flair of his graphic design makes ham‑fisted amateurs, like myself, want to give up. Leave it to the professionals.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with presenting my work in a way that will fascinate, inspire, and delight. As well as websites (you’re looking at one right now) and application interfaces, I’ve designed posters, fliers, tickets, brochures, newsletters, t-shirts, promotional packaging, signage, and board games.
A lot of my illustration is for the Court Theatre’s school holiday shows. This is Hansel & Gretel.
I craft web apps with Ruby and Javascript, focusing on interfaces that keep people coming back for more. I’ve also started developing for Apple touch devices (because I ♥ my iPhone).
Matt has an inbuilt sense of usability: the systems he develops are usable and intuitive.
His code and coding practices are some of the cleanest and brightest I’ve seen.
This is CHC, a tiny mobile web app for flight information from Christchurch International Airport. It uses Sinatra, Zepto.js, Backbone.js, and Redis.
