About Me
My name is Matthew Johnson and I’m a multifaceted, seasoned IT professional with an emphasis on Graphic Design, UX/UI Design, Frontend Design, Photo Retouching, and Video Editing. Originally from the United States, I have expanded my geographical reach to embrace new experiences in Germany. Throughout my career, I have been privileged to contribute to groundbreaking projects, each one offering unique opportunities to further refine and enhance my skillset.
My extensive professional journey has equipped me with invaluable expertise in creating diverse digital and print work for agencies and brands. Possessing a keen understanding of the user’s perspective, my designs are always tuned to address the core objectives without compromising on the aesthetic appeal. I meticulously analyze each user touchpoint, ensuring any potential hurdles are identified and addressed promptly. This pragmatic approach, coupled with a readiness to embrace new challenges, defines my versatility as a designer.
Parallel to design, I exhibit excellent proficiency in image editing and retouching. The beauty of my craft lies in the creation of visual art that resonates with viewers and transcends mere aesthetics. My approach is detail-oriented, ensuring each element is rendered flawlessly, particularly in large format presentations. The editorial process commences with a clear conceptual understanding that aligns with the overarching campaign goals and contributes to the visual consistency.
I am energized by collaborative environments, and find immense joy in team-based projects. The dynamic exchange of ideas, shared learning, and collective strides towards our shared objectives is what fuels my passion.
Should your organization seek a unique identity, a dynamic digital presence via an intuitive website, or an impactful communication design, I can facilitate that transformation. I look forward to exploring potential collaborations and invite you to reach out.
