Hi 👋 I’m Matt.

I’m an entrepreneur and design-minded product person.

I push teams to break the mold and explore creative, functional technology solutions that address meaningful customer problems.

I am currently a partner at Secretly Nice, our ever-evolving antithesis to a traditional agency.

Over the years, I’ve helped companies envision the future at Teague, rapidly explored new web technologies with Adam Kumpf at our incubator, The Chaos Collective, and I ran the Seattle-based software agency Thomas Street.

When I’m not trying out every no-code tool I can find, I try to spend my time on the water ⛵, exploring 🏔️, iterating on my 🍕 recipe, making ☕, or fermenting things 🍺.

My approach comes down to solving for

Direction & Velocity

Trying to talk about what you do as a generalist can be a challenge—I wear a lot of hats and work hard to tackle every project holistically. I’ve boiled down everything I do as being in the pursuit of these two key results:

A.
Discover, evaluate, and craft a meaningful direction; and/or,

B.
Scope, simplify, prioritize, and staff appropriately to achieve critical velocity.

Get In Touch

I am always excited to meet new makers, hear about new projects, learn something new, or share what I know.

Send me a note or schedule some time to chat.
