Matthew Farleo's Portfolio

Hi there! I'm Matthew and my goal is to immerse myself in every facet of design, continuously expanding my skills and knowledge. For me, design isn't just a career—it's a lifelong pursuit. I am dedicated to exploring new techniques and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. My dream is to craft innovative solutions and beautiful creations.

Personal

Elevated

Beautiful

Thoughtful

These four values—Personal, Elevated, Beautiful, and Thoughtful—shape everything I create. I design with intention, ensuring each piece feels deeply considered and connected to the people it serves. Crafting experiences that are both refined and meaningful is what drives me. I thrive on collaboration, believing that the best outcomes emerge when diverse perspectives come together. Whether zooming out to define a vision or focusing in on the smallest details, I balance speed with care, always striving to create work that resonates on a deeper level and leaves a lasting impact.

My journey began in visual communication design, with a foundation in branding, marketing, and web design before evolving into product design. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep understanding of user needs, I create cohesive, human-centered experiences that feel seamless and intentional across every touchpoint—from strategy and identity to interactions both big and small. Over the past 4 years, I've worked across industries and team structures—freelance, startups, in-house, and public companies—developing a versatile and adaptive approach. My passion for craft, curiosity, and continuous growth ensures that everything I create is not only beautiful but also personal, elevated, and thoughtfully designed.

Moxie Interactive

Intern and Freelance Design

At Moxie I found my passion for design, I worked under some amazing individuals to push the realms of advertising through 3D printing, virtual reality and other tech! I got to lead some of the coolest projects I have ever worked on including presenting 3D printers at the Georgia Pacific Tech Expo and doing photogorophy for Delta and Chik-fil-A!

Starbucks

Barista

I am a certified starbucks barista, I know it seems a little bit odd to put on a design portfolio, but I believe that it shows a peice of me that my other positions did not. While working at starbucks I did design drinks, I helped customers create things fully from scratch and really designed some hand crafted beverages. I feel like I learned a lot about dealing with people and a lot about myself in my few years that I worked here during college, and I think sometimes it is important to remember that everything is designed even something as small as a cup of coffee.
