Matese, like the artist but spelled differently.
A musician turned designer, I’ve been a “creative” my entire life. My approach to design is like my career path — non-linear. A decade+ into this career and I've had the pleasure of working in-house (StockX), at agencies (Truth Labs, Work & Co), and independently. by Matese is a culmination of all that knowledge & using that to create great brands and experiences. By approaching every problem differently, I find that I’m able to design in a way that doesn’t just convey ideas, but tells stories.
If you’re looking for me outside of this screen you can usually find me at a vintage shop, riding around Portland on my bike, or a golf course.
I'm currently available for work. Projects that really get me excited are branding/visual design projects in the social impact, media, sports, sustainability and music realms.
