I was born and raised in the small village of Hewitt in Wisconsin. In 2007, I moved to Tampa, Florida where my interest in graphic design developed. While in high school, I took several computer design classes and excelled above the rest of the class. The enjoyment I found in these courses are what inspired me to pursue a degree in Graphic Design.I attended the International Academy of Design and Technology (IADT), where I honed my skills in print and web, and also developed my skills in motion graphics. After three years of intensive work, I graduated magna cum laude with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and began my career in the industry.I spent six years working at the Florida Aquarium as their Graphic Designer, where I designed and managed dozens of projects. I worked as a Remote Graphic Designer & Social Media Coordinator for a Printing company in Lexington, KY for a little over two years. I have also continued my freelance work creating designs for a variety of clients and organizations. As time goes on, my creativity and innovation only grows in the field of graphic design and I enjoy each new challenge that presents itself to me.https://mattburtdesigner.wixsite.com/mattburtdesigner
