“This guy took an idea and brought it to life exactly the way we imagined it. A true artist!”

-Ira Roberts


“We found in Matt a person who cares about the packaging of our music as much as we care about its production. What we gave him to begin with was some pretty vague ideas and impressions, and what we got at the end was a gorgeous piece of art. We will now settle for no one else!

-Cookie Segelstein of the band Veretski Pass


“Matt has a way of taking my ‘generic’ art design ideas and turning them into an amazing-looking reality. He’s also incredibly easy to do business with, as he works with me so that in the end, we have a CD package we’re really both proud of. I’ll never go with anyone else again.”

-David Nevue, recording artist and founder of the Music Biz Academy
