Matt Thorstad Email & Phone Number

About Me:Greetings! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Matt, a UX / UI designer with a passion for various disciplines within the design field including Game Design, Web Design, and Augmented / Virtual Reality. I have had the privilege of working in diverse environments, collaborating with professionals across various sectors of design and development, delivery services, private security, and the U.S. military.Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in creating efficient and optimized systems to better aid in completing user-centered tasks or services. I am driven by a constant desire to learn and grow, aiming to anticipate future user needs and design for the implementation of those needs. I enjoy working with other designers, creative types, or any highly motivated team where I can contribute my analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and creativity to deliver exceptional results.My professional journey has allowed me to work on projects aimed at empowering people through design accessibility, efficiency, and feature prioritization. These experiences have given me invaluable insights into how to best design for users and stakeholders, fostering a deep understanding of its challenges and opportunities. I am adept at identifying strategic solutions through evidence-based user testing data and implementing effective strategies to drive business growth while advocating for product users.Collaboration and teamwork are essential aspects of my work philosophy. I enjoy working with other designers and developers synthesizing powerful solutions greater than any one person could achieve alone. Beyond my professional pursuits, I embrace the philosophy of minimalism and enjoy decluttering and simplifying my living spaces. This lifestyle choice helps me prioritize what truly matters, enhances my organizational skills, and promotes a sense of clarity and focus. I am passionate about movies, video games, and other forms of entertainment. I enjoy cooking, sampling teas, and craft beer as well as other culinary hobbies. I am personally motivated by many aspects of design outside of my career pursuits; following the latest technology hype, designing routines and life hack documents to manage and optimize aspects of life efficiently, and creating mods to give my favorite video games a touch of my personality. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to connecting with you.Best regards,Matt Thorstad
