I am the creative director. I design tools, websites, and much more!

About Matthew

I am true believer in the power of design and its ability to make valuable and potentially empowering information more accessible to those who need it most.

The process of addressing need through the discovery, curation, and enrichment of freely available, but often well hidden, data, is deeply appealing to me. I am constantly excited by the opportunity to apply my experience and the principles of design to further improve these tools and enhance their impact and reach.
