Matt Wright

Hi, my name is Matt. I'm a designer based in Seattle, Washington. I've been designing the Mercury app for about five years now. Before that, I was at Team and Malka Media, designing for clients like Pfizer, ADP, and Deloitte. Most of my time spent designing is time spent looking through the lens of first principles thinking. Tech jargon aside, it's an excellent method of simplifying people’s needs down to something concrete and solvable.

I originally intended to pursue Industrial Design because of the tangible impact physical objects have on people’s everyday lives. However, after discovering the Interaction Design program at the University of Washington, I fell in love with this new (to me) discipline. The program gave me the flexibility to solve problems in any way that resonated with my target audience the most – whether the deliverable was physical, digital, or print. I learned to conduct user research, apply first principles thinking to my findings, and create beautiful things that solved problems.

Outside of work, I spend my time with my partner, our dog, and many projects. Working on espresso machines, house projects, and reading fills my downtime and helps me feel connected to the world around me.

If you’re interested in working together or would like to know more about projects I’ve worked on, send me an email. You can also learn more about my background on LinkedIn.
