Born in 1996.
Raised in California.
Been hard at work since 2015.
I’m Matthew Garrido a creative from California. I attended college at San Jose State University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Design Studies. I currently work as a Freelance Graphic Designer and am open to taking on more projects and new opportunities!
I take on freelance projects with individuals and businesses to conceptualize their needs into graphical content. I’ve worked on projects such as Brand Identity, Website Design, Apparel Design, and different types of marketing collaterals.
I am proficient in Graphic Design and all the necessary programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro.
My creative approach—no matter the medium—is to find points of tension behind the idea I’ve been assigned or am interested in. Do my research and make several iterations on each point and usually end up refining the one I find most controversial.
When I am not designing, you can find me traveling the world, working on my car, browsing the internet for furniture, exploring new coffee joints, or at the gym shooting some hoops!
