My name is Matt Bansak, and I founded Upwind Creative to help businesses streamline their web presence with modern design while maximizing their ability to tell their story through visual media. With a strong background in both web design and photography, I take an all-in approach with my clients to deliver a powerful and diverse combination of services with a unified vision from the ground up.For over 13 years, my web design work has helped small and medium sized businesses looking to scale and expand their online presence with modern and intuitive sites that are both search engine optimized and mobile responsive. For established companies with high demands, my diverse skill set in IT, web design, visual media, advertising, social media and SEO allows me to be a one-stop-shop, and my attention to detail in all realms is valuable for building upon a cohesive vision and branding. Landscape and adventure is the primary focus of my photography and video work, which has been featured notably in National Geographic, Men's Journal, Outside, Southwest, Kiteboarder, and Powder, and over 30 times on the cover of the Tahoe Weekly. I am trusted by brands, athletes, companies, families, and realtors to deliver a high caliber of work with artistic and technical expertise. Photography is my art and my passion, and I take great pride in my work ethic and attention to detail. I bring the mindset to all photo and video shoots that each frame should contribute towards telling a story with powerful visuals, and that it is often the quality over quantity that matters most when it comes to creating compelling work.For small businesses such as architects and rental operations all the way to large software companies and heliskiing operations, Upwind Creative allows me to merge my diverse capabilities to tell your story the most effectively and help you connect with your target audience. I am seeking clients that are looking to foster an ongoing positive relationship with a web developer and visual media guru who they can trust will work hard to create powerful content and deliver results.
