product designer

10+ years of experience designing 0 → 1 products, shipping software at scale, and building design systems in code. Specializing in designer, developer, and collaboration tools.

Selected Work

Bubble Native Mobile Apps

Drove the product direction and design for the launch of the largest product expansion in Bubble’s history.

I designed the core concepts for how to design, build, preview, and publish native mobile apps for iOS and Android in a redesigned no-code editor.

Bubble Editor UI 2

Designed the new UI for the Bubble editor, focusing on a new information architecture and visual refresh.

I led the redesign for the toolbar, tab bar, elements tree, property editor, app switcher, popovers, and menus. I collaborated with multiple designers and engineering teams to facilitate implementation and ensure cohesion.

The.com CMS

Led product, design, and design systems for The.com’s no-code, sheet-based website builder and CMS tools.

I designed and prototyped a new side-by-side view for editing page content and easily generating new pages from a template. Every row is a new page, and each column connects to content, styles, or custom properties.

The.com CSS Sheet Groups

Designed a more user-friendly way to style pages that introduced concepts from common CSS groupings and spreadsheet column groups.

This redesign of the existing CSS sheet editing eliminated the never-ending scrolling of columns, resulted in improved user education and enabled easier style edits.

InVision Inspect Motion

Led product design of a new 0 → 1 designer / developer collaboration tool that had never existed before.

Inspect Motion allowed developers to view prototypes in an entirely new way, finding every detail—start / end values, duration, delay, and easing curves—for any animating property on any element.

InVision Studio Jira Integration

I led a design sprint with InVision and Atlassian to ideate on how our products could work together.

This feature I designed brought Jira orgs, sprints, filters, and issues directly into the workflow in InVision Studio, allowing designers to sync screens and prototypes without leaving their design tool.

Matthew is one of the best designers I’ve ever worked with. He is next level when it comes to design systems, interaction design, and pixel-perfect components. He clearly cares deeply about his craft and transformed Bubble’s design quality threshold by shipping thoughtful designs and advocating across stakeholders. I really enjoyed my time working with him!

Matthew and I worked together as founding members of Bubble’s Mobile team. I was really impressed with how quickly he was able to ramp up on Bubble’s product and bring his domain expertise of mobile development and design patterns to craft the vision for the mobile apps editor. He was a strong collaborator with engineering, working closely from project kickoff through design QA to ensure successful releases. I can say with confidence that the mobile product offering would not be where it is today without his design leadership.

Matthew is a very passionate product designer. As an engineer working with Matthew, it was refreshing to see the amount of care and thought he put into his designs. He genuinely cares about and understands users of the products he builds, and his closeness to developer communities resulted in product designs and features that added value and were well-received within the frontend communities.

I worked closely with Matthew for a good portion of his time at InVision, and we also worked together on a project for a couple of months. In that time, I’ve seen him contribute to the InVision design system like no other. He also has a good understanding of the technical side of things, which really pays off when it comes to executing an idea with engineers. Matthew is also a good listener and genuinely cares about improving his skills. It’s rare to find someone willing to use feedback to drive real change and personal growth.
