Services + Experience

I’m a Graphic Designer with over 20 years of experience, based in Brisbane, Australia.

By using an intelligent mix of branding, graphic design for print, web and digital design I deliver meaningful and relevant results that will engage your target audience. I pride myself on building lasting, meaningful relationships with my clients.

I approach each project with curiosity and an open mind, making sure I understand your needs and questioning them when appropriate. Working together is the key to achieving brilliant outcomes.

Diversity inspires and challenges me. I am fortunate to work with a broad range of clients – big and small – including arts organisations, charities, corporates, universities, hospitality, medicos and technology firms.

Values + Beliefs

I often ask my clients what they value and believe in – this is what is important to me.

  • The design process should be a collaborative one where the best results come from an ongoing discussion. Fostering long-term partnerships with my clients is fundamental to my understanding their businesses. I like to work with my clients, not just for them.

  • The foundation of an effective design solution is based on asking the right questions and listening. That way no assumptions are made and an informed approach is always taken.

  • I aim to deliver top-notch, honest customer service. Managing client expectations is a key part of my business and the reason many of my clients return time and again. My aim isn’t to meet client expectations but to exceed them.

  • "In all my years in business, Matt is undoubtedly the most exceptional Graphic Designer I have known. He has completed countless projects for me, and without exception, his work is truly unique. His ability to understand a requirement and translate it visually is genuinely remarkable. I cannot recommend Matt higher. No matter the size of your organisation, this is the person you want in control of your visual identity"

    Neil Glentworth, Board Director & Strategy Consultant

  • “We have worked with Matt at Thought & Process since 2010 when he created the visual identity for our first business. His work was fantastic then, and his creativity remains remarkable. Working with Matt on the Granada Beef project was once again exceptional. The visual identity and website he created truly captured our brand. We’ve received many compliments and have seen increased engagement. Highly recommend!”

    Hannah Hacon, business owner Granada Beef & Worn Out West

  • "Thought + Process have been Community Services Industry Alliance’s primary design partner for over five years. Their work is outstanding and they have always helped to evolve our design and adapt to a wide variety of projects and products. Matt is easy to work with, always responsive and completely reliable"

    Matthew Gillet, Acting CEO & Program Manager, Community Services Industry Alliance

  • " I approached Matt to refresh a brand identity in line with developments and future business direction. Matt has an easygoing and down-to-earth manner which is refreshing and comes with a very open mind about what can be achieved. I found him to be intuitive and able to distill a vision down to creative concepts that could be developed. He was able to produce a brand that reflected the energy and authenticity I wanted it to portray and I see the image for my business reflected in the work I am asked to do by clients. That for me; is the ultimate translation of brand design and story, to outcome. I know there is plenty more to develop, and I look forward to seeing the brand evolve"

    Selena King, Executive Director

  • “Our users are consistently commenting on how easy to use the UI is (a remarkable compliment from reluctant computer users), while it receives ‘applause’ for its modern and attractive looks in sales presentations. It’s therefore fair to say that the design itself facilitates sales and assists in reducing support manhours. A big WIN for Optii, thank you and well done!”

    Soenke Weiss, Founder & Executive Director, OPTii Solutions

  • “Whenever we meet a prospective client they ask us about our branding and business card design. It’s the perfect conversation starter – it assures, relaxes and engages people which is our preferred starting point to building good relationships”

    Ben Hughes, Director, Hughes et al

  • “Matt is a very gifted designer and creative professional. I rely on Matt for his expertise and ingenuity when it comes to developing and launching brands. He brings a fresh perspective when it comes to designing for a wide range of industries and adapts well to any project. We have always worked effectively together even though we are over 7,000 miles and 17 time zones apart. Simply put, just contact Matt!”

    Alfredo Malatesta, Founder, Flavour Gallery

  • "Matt worked with us to rebrand our company, the process was a smooth and easy one. He listened to our needs, captured the essence of our company, and developed a brand identity that has been very well received by our target market. This has provided us with a solid and flexible platform for our company to continue to grow and develop"

    Gabrielle Gravolin, Director, Special Projects, Levesys
