How past clients feel:
Matese did an exceptional job with my logo. He is a great communicator and gave me multiple design options that concluded with a great result.
Bo F. Lassiter, Stonemason
Over the past six years, I've worked with Matese on many projects, from brand design to product design, and it's been a joy every time. Matese is a multi-disciplinary designer who adds value to so many different projects. Matese can work on projects that aren't always defined and deliver innovative ways to think about the problem through design. Matese is also super fun to work with and is extremely funny. Matese is not only a collaborator but also a friend.

Typical engagements:
by Matese is a culmination of experience and knowledge from over a decade working with brands large and small, both in-house, at agencies and independently. Interested in working with me? It typically looks like this:
Brand Sprint
Need a quick logo, social post, merch, poster etc? This is for you. With a quick 1-2 week turnaround I can help you get out of a pinch or get that design live quick.
Brand Identity
Building a company from scratch? Rebranding an existing company? I work with you to build a logo and the identity around it (color, type, art direction, brand guidelines). Typical times for this is 4-6 weeks.
Brand Partnership
Established brands still need maintained. With this engagement I work as an embedded designer in your company helping build out whatever is needed to keep the company going (think social templates, signage, merch, presentations, packaging, design systems)
