Matt Steil:
I am a visual designer & illustrator, living and working in Minneapolis, MN.
I am a team player, a problem solver, and a student of many disciplines. My experience in sports has made me an excellent team player, who always works hard to make sure the team is victorious. When not working, I am traveling to fun places, watching movies, and trying all kinds of tasty foods.
My design ethos is one of collaboration and listening. To find the best results we must take in feedback and other perspectives — in order to make the optimal design decision.
