Growing up in Portland, OR Matt moved to San Diego in 2001 to pursue his passion for art and design. Matt gives credit to early mentors at Blk/Mrkt and Imagewerks, Inc. who helped him develop his unique style that incorporates fine art, graphic design, and entrepreneurship. As a result Matt's client list includes companies such as: Adidas, Burton Snowboards, Grenade Gloves, Nema Mtn. Bike Clothing, Nike, Shirts & Skins, and Reebok. Matt's favorite sneakers are the Air Jordan 5, Reebok Omni Pump Lite, Adidas Artillery (Torsion), and the Converse weapon to name a few.
