What up!

I’m Matt, a creative director and writer based in Brooklyn, NY. 

I’m currently at Edelman, helping think up attention grabbing ideas for clients large and small.

Prior to that, I spent time at RPA, Deutsch and Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

And before that, I was experimenting with different ways of putting off my student loan payments  – from living in China to biking across the US to working in grocery stores, bars and as a janitor.

When it comes to work, I love using creativity to shift culture, writing words that make people feel, and trying to better things on planet earth. 

When it comes to life, I’m obsessed with bikes, the outdoors, my dog and newly becoming an uncle. 

I can also spend an unreasonable amount of time ranting about the NY Knicks. 

Hit me up!
