"Most designers simply take direction and bring few original ideas to the table. That's not Matt’s gig. He has creative vision and the chops to support it. He’s going to kill it. Every. Time."

Aarron Walter VP, Design Education, Invision

But wait… who the heck are you?

I'm glad you asked! My name is Matt Downey and for more than a decade, I've had the pleasure of managing successful digital companies, projects, and teams.

I'm currently the Digital Director at Mybite, a vitamin startup making it deliciously simple to stay healthy and energized. Before that, I was the founder of 45royale, an award-winning remote web design and development agency.

My work has been recognized by Computer Arts, .net Magazine, and Awwwards to name a few.
