Colleagues describe him as "As part of the design team, Matt is responsible for creating marketing material for Kennedy Library: flyers, posters, brochures, magnets, stickers as well as digital media for our website and social media. My team operates in a flat hierarchy allowing student assistants to contribute creatively with own input. They are important collaborators from the very beginning of a project, and contribute their ideas and vision in brainstorming sessions before demonstrating their skills in design and manufacturing of products. Matt thrives in this environment. He receives artistic stimulation from many different sources, continuously finds creative ways to push ideas further, develops a plan for his idea, while working very detail-oriented and focused. A particular highlight of his job at Kennedy Library is the work for the Banned Books Week event. This celebration has high visibility within the library, campus-wide as well as outside of Cal Poly. Matt developed an astounding concept based on Street and Pop Art, that tied in with other library marketing while having an own twist. For print, he created several posters with banned authors, a large promotional poster announcing the event, buttons that were handed out to students, a banner with a list of banned books and a large display. He then successfully translated his designs into versions for web, digital signage and social media. The university librarian Anna Gold commented after seeing the final design: "It's a great display and the artwork is exceptional!". Matt's work was featured in our blog at https://lib.calpoly.edu/outloud/2013/09/23/past-presentand-future-of-banned-books-week/, and Cal Poly's Mustang Daily, a great success for him personally and a fantastic promotion for the library: http://mustangdaily.net/kennedy-library-tohouse- banned-books-week-display/ Matt's quality of work has always been flawless. He demonstrates a diverse skill set, and is very artistic and creative – a combination that results in astounding work."
