I'm Matt, a Staff Product Designer based in Brooklyn, NY. I've spent most of the last ten years on software people use to do their jobs.
I joined Avvir, a construction analytics startup, and stayed on after Hexagon acquired us. I led design end-to-end on the platform, partnered with one PM. The work spanned AI review workflows, a reporting dashboard rebuild that replaced Power BI, and platform unification across six Hexagon-acquired tools. Day-to-day was embedded with the eng team: standups, prod support, fixing issues in existing workflows, shipping continuously.
Before Avvir, I worked across adtech, pharma, and fintech. Along the way I owned the UX for a patient-facing app that won an Appy Award.
I studied Graphic Design at the School of Visual Arts and started out at small studios in New York City doing print layouts, marketing materials, and UI work. While working at a small agency creating visual assets for the Hooked on Phonics app, I got drawn into how digital products were actually constructed, and that led me to General Assembly's UX Design Immersive in 2014, in the early days of UX bootcamps. Been at it ever since.
Outside of work you'll find me in Prospect Park with my partner and our dog Spud, checking out local bands, or trying to figure out what the best pizza in NYC is.
