Welcome.
I'm Matt, a UX Designer based in Durham, North Carolina who loves bringing diverse points of view to my work and communicating complex ideas through a combination of written, technical, and visual material. I enjoy the challenge of creating new and original interaction methods and pushing the envelope of design in immersive and traditional spaces. Feel free to look around and connect. More content coming soon.

I currently work at Lenovo where I support our ThinkReality software and hardware solutions - designing natural user interfaces, exploring embodied and peripheral interaction techniques, and performing Human Factors validation studies among other activities. I'm the UX/UI design lead for a connected device management platform and dynamic telemetry dashboard. I also support a myriad of hardware accessories which often includes firmware design, print materials, and modular attachments among other things. During my time at Lenovo, I have led several research studies surrounding evolving work spaces, day-in-the-life product usage, and the future of personal computing.
While at Virginia Tech, I had the unique privilege of working alongside Dr. Joe Gabbard, Dr. Doug Bowman, and several others on the exploration of hand-free gestural interaction techniques and the design of mixed-reality menus. I also participated in a few passion projects and summer internships that had me working alongside veteran researchers and designers at NASA, USSOCOM, and Lextant.
Outside of the frenetic pace of work, I enjoy hitting the gym, gaming, watching a whole host of television and film, and as time permits... flexing the entrepreneurial muscles.
