Specializing in Graphic, Audio, Video, Style, & Brand Design.
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
I do hard-hitting print, web, and graphic design for apparel, stickers, and interiors which catches the eyes of audiences.
Looking for explosive music and colorful visuals for your presentation? I do that utilizing fun, fresh audio and video.
I have helped international clients develop their brand with their look which goes beyond a logo to engage and capture market.
Using the most cutting edge technology, I am able to harness engagement and put you to the top on Google, Facebook, & all platforms.
My book of many chapters.
You Do the Math
Awarded Order of the Arrow, Leadership Crest, and three silver palms.
Acknowledgement of my duty to self, naturalism, hard work, spirituality, and community.
How to navigate with a map and compass, hiking, and adaptability to rough weather and terrain.
Cleared St. Mary's Ring at Sycamore Girl Scout Camp and replanted thirteen new trees.
Professional Writing and Art & Design among other subjects including fiction, poetry, and art appreciation.
Where I added to my own personal studies of art, design, writing, and marketing.
Coding, Writing, rhetoric, languages (Greek and Roman), music theory, journalism.
I ended up speaking several times a year at my alma mater's school of management after graduation.
I was hired to design slides for the department showing how to load a dewar. I swiftly adapted these designs to a 3D modeling application to create ray-traced videos of the process.
Other duties included conceptual sketches, website design and promotional graphics for the various classes and activities of the school. I also learned the basics of IT and network technology.
Beautiful, comfortable mid-century bungalow a few blocks from the thriving downtown.
Lots of money spent on fixing up, sore hands, sore back, sore brain. Anyone who owns a house knows.
This is where I did my greatest work yet. I fathered my beautiful children, Huxley and Dashiell.
I started my media company, Maximumedia Design to create websites and other media for clients in the real estate and lifestyle sectors as well as help friends with their Google ranking and SEO.
I quickly locked in clients like HBO (synced music for a major boxing match), Toyota (promoted events and performed), Red Bull (designed print media flyers and passes), and arranged music for National Geographic, the NBA, Nike, and Wax Poetics among others.
Downtown Lafayette, Indiana
Where I created my design team.
A thin building with a glass front, a ground-floor office with a walk-up loft and a full basement on Main Street.
Continued work for long-time clients and grew my business with notoriety and walk-in business.
I ran my business for a decade or more between home, my first studio, and my brick and mortar.
Sometimes you take a leap and fly for awhile, but I was ready for a change. I decided freelance may be right.
I continued to work on expanding my business in graphic design, audio visual, marketing, and development. I also continued to nurture my creative instinct outside of the purely commercial sphere by offsetting my already creative business model with other lucrative ideas including continued releases of hip hop and experimental albums, graffiti and stencil art, stickers, and Mattern's Original All-Purpose Teetotum. More about that…
A game piece meant to generate curiosity and conversation called Mattern's Original All-Purpose Teetotum.
To generate conversation & curiosity.
My friends were developing IP, but I wanted something tangible.
Is it so nuts to want something to remain that is just as crazy as you were after you're gone?
A quiet street next to the railyard where the train makes it's own rhythm and often hums like an industrial band or some strange, Stygian orchestra.
Also called "The Library," it is a place of the esoteric meant to house books, leisure, and conversation. Do as Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law.
Continuing to take the lead on duties at Matterns Pine Ridge Nursery as well as creating music as Atarilogic while pursuing freelance and contract work in design and consulting are exciting prospects which I have made into a lifestyle. I experiment with sounds, write books, and arrange scores for film. This is a wonderful chapter which allows me to grow in business and creativity.
