Hi, I am Matt.
I am a multidisciplinary designer, technology tinkerer, and visual artist based in London.
01 / Intersection
Design with emotional depth.
I sit at the intersection of design, science, and technology, constantly striving to create human-centered solutions that have genuine emotional depth. I genuinely love what I do — I’ve always wanted to build things from scratch that people actually use, whether they are visual assets or complex digital platforms.

02 / Tool nerd
Tools are thinking environments.
You could definitely call me a “tool nerd.” I am an early adopter who loves exploring new software and figuring out what I can push it to do. I am heavily interested in how humans interact with computers and tools, which drives my passion for systems thinking and designing complex processes. For me, Design Thinking isn’t just a methodology; I advocate for treating it as an “operational system for your brain.”
03 / AI-first
Building tools from the ground up.
As an AI-first designer, I continuously test new AI tools and integrate them into my workflow. With the advent of AI, I am now able to build actual tools for myself and others from the ground up. This led me to create Savage Skill, a platform where I integrate AI and software development with design thinking. Through Savage Skill, I also deliver courses and teach AI implementation to private groups and at the university level.

04 / Art foundations
A traditional artist’s eye inside digital work.
Before diving deep into digital products, I was trained as an artist in a traditional school, studying painting, drawing, and sculpture. While I don’t work as a professional artist today, that artistic and aesthetic sensibility strongly informs my design work. I am fascinated by visual perception, natural phenomena, geometry, and mathematics, which often fuel my personal artistic practice. I also love to explore motion and 3D graphics at an exploratory level using tools like Cinema 4D, Blender, and Unreal Engine.

06 / Movement
Discipline, structure, iteration.
Outside of design and technology, I am a dedicated martial artist. I actively train in Capoeira and run a small Capoeira club here in London. Believe it or not, my martial arts training directly influences my professional work. I frequently translate the discipline, the structural approach, and the emphasis on continuous iteration from martial arts straight into my design processes.
07 / Education
A multidisciplinary foundation.
Finally, my formal educational background supports my multidisciplinary approach. I hold an MA in Narrative Environments from Central Saint Martins, a First Class Honours BA in Visual Communication from the University of Westminster, and I also studied Visual Advertising at Art College Piotr Potworowski.
