About Me
I’m Matt Brooks, a visual designer based in Laguna Beach, California, with over seven years of design experience. I currently work as a graphic designer, where I create advertisements for various websites. This fast-paced role involves a high workload, where I typically produce around 80 ad designs each week. The advertising I create serves a diverse range of businesses, including medical facilities, accounting firms, restaurants, private educational institutions, legal teams, mechanic and autobody repair shops, car dealerships, and funeral homes.
I also spent two years as a UX/UI designer for Mazda's app, MyMazda. During that time, I developed the app's electric vehicle charging feature, built the design system in Figma, regularly presented designs to Mazda management in Japan, and collaborated with the development team to implement various design updates and changes to the app.
Before that, I worked as a graphic designer in print at a well-known location in West Seattle. One of my favorite projects there was creating the menu, decorative material, and logo/sign for a famous chef's crepe restaurant. I also collaborated with businesses to design promotional materials, including business cards, flyers, posters, and other print media.
I strive to provide practical and effective solutions that align with my clients' needs, aiming to translate their vision into an aesthetically pleasing reality. Feel free to contact me for more information!
