UX & PRODUCT DESIGN / COLORADO & BEYONDHi, I’m Matthew.
I build confident teams and make complex products feel clear. I stay hands-on and use AI to move from research to tangible prototypes sooner—creating more room to question, test, and refine the experience.

Two connected product challenges. One hands-on approach to design leadership.
Align design, product, and engineering around a clear problem, a useful direction, and the decisions that matter.
Coach designers and managers to own their work. My teaching at Northwestern and mentorship of hundreds of designers have sharpened that practice.
Work through information architecture, critique, prototypes, and implementation. Use AI to make ideas tangible sooner.

Independent products keep me close to the full journey—from the first sketch to the details that make something usable.

FEATURED / PHLUFFLE · AI PRODUCT STUDIO
I founded, designed, and built Phluffle to turn ideas into working prototypes that teams can refine together.
CandyBark, OneTapJobs, and GigSchedule were designed and iterated in Phluffle.

Three products. Different problems. One hands-on practice.

Founder, designer, and developer. Bringing scheduling and business operations into one approachable experience.

A founder-led response to job-search friction: discover roles, prepare applications, and keep everything moving.

A different kind of product craft. A bold consumer brand, a distinctive voice, and a focused storefront.
