About
Hello. I'm Matthew. I'm a designer by profession, but I consider myself more of an observer first, challenger and problem-solver second. You will often find me exploring snd planning new experiences. Not the tourist areas, but the local life. I always joke that I want to make a bed and breakfast that gives visitors a unique tour. No wonder my profession is in the field of human experiences!
I'm currently stationed out in the Emirates, previously Singapore and the US. Through this I've observed how different cultural values change the way technology is adopted and adapted to the lifestyles of locals. Where community leaders in one region may focus on one group of people, other regions may focus on the exact opposite.
When I am not out, I am constantly brewing new ideas in my noggin, thinking about products, ideas, and past experiences from new angles and mixing two seemingly unrelated things to conjure up new unique ideas.
I have constantly pondered over the idea of writing, sharing my observations, and having a space to share my ideas. The timing now seems right, and my goals after much turmoil seem clear, and so, here we are.
I'm always open to collaborations, suggestions on topics, and feedback. Feel free to shoot over an email, and I promise I will respond as soon as I can.
