Senior UX designer at Microsoft
Hello, I'm Matt a UX designer. I have a non-traditional path to becoming a designer. My undergrad was in fine art and I have a master's degree in Industrial Design. I became interested in the process of human-centered design while earning my master's degree and decided to pursue UX design as my career path. Before UX design, I spent many years in the bicycle industry doing sales, service and ultimately starting my own custom bicycle fabrication business. I have experience working in cross discipline teams, leading multi-day workshops, reviewing portfolios, building products in complex domains, working with stakeholders, building team relationships and more.
βIt was a pleasure to speak with Matt. He was very professional and insightful. He provided professional and insightful feedback on my portfolio, which helped me focus on areas to improve. I appreciate his honesty and helpful nature, as he gave me time to discuss the profession.β
βMatt is an amazing mentor, and we had a great chat! He helped me review my portfolio and gave me so much useful advice to improve. Also, he is very encouraging and professional, he told me about his experience as a designer and a bicycle salesman, which is so interesting! I look forward to our next chat!β
