At any given moment 20 million people, globally, are actively using a product or service I have had a hand in creating.
I’m Matthew Schneider. A Product Design Leader with extensive experience in design strategy, product research, studio buildouts and brand strategy for nearly every conceivable media. I have managed projects and teams for over fifteen years.
I Drive impact in two key ways — I clear paths for teams to do their best work and I seek to identify opportunities rooted in experience optimization and operational efficiencies.
I have a storied creative career that I'm proud of. I've been a part of Digital since its infancy - over 25 years now- , seeing it grow from fringe banner marketing to becoming the integral part of products and services we rely on every day. I have had the great opportunity to work for some of the best creative studios in the world including Apple, Xbox and agencies AKQA, Wieden + Kennedy and Mother.
I have celebrated and lamented successes and failures all in the spirit of wanting to be part of great work, great people and unrelenting ambition. I strive to be super-focused, always learning, always listening and always growing.
Foreword
“You meet people in your life in what often feels like happenstance. However, I remember vividly being cc’d with Matthew on project emails from the same jobs. “Who is this guy?” I would think and then looking at his work …. I was both impressed and jealous. That feeling has persisted throughout our decades long friendship - knowing and working together.
Matthew is a designer’s designer, he understands simplicity intimately and the importance of craft. Even during periods where we’ve lost contact for a little while, when I see Matthew’s work, that feeling of jealousy comes roaring back.”
