Who AM I?

…The age-old question.

Hi, I’m Matthew Heyden—a designer who really loves design. I mean it. I follow designers like others follow musicians. I collect books on design, watch documentaries on design… I’ve been known to pause a movie more than once to comment on the typeface on a storefront or the William Morris wallpaper in the background. (Exhausting for my partner, I’m sure.)

With a BFA in Communication Design, which I’ll receive in December 2024, I specialize in graphic design, exhibition design, and packaging design. My work blends elegant simplicity, strong composition, and clever visual storytelling to create engaging experiences.

I’m driven, adaptable, a team player, and not overly precious about my work. I approach every project with curiosity, thorough research, and a love for the creative process.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me reading, out in nature, experimenting with my camera, creating stop-motion animations, or tumbling down a new learning rabbit-hole. Let’s create something meaningful together.
