Banana-eater extraordinaire. I drive fast cars, play soccer, and carry the cat around like a football. Oh, and I design stuff too.
I have extensive print and web design knowledge, as well as html and java script. I work hard and like learning new things. I spend my weekends tinkering with my M3, and evenings scouring the web for cool car parts.

About
about the banana man
No, I don’t really know where the “Bad for Bananas” came from, but I think it’s important to add
a touch of humor to the things that interest you. All my life I’ve been the creative type: drawing
and painting from an early age. As I went through school, I just kept going with the creative mode.
I specialize in digital and web design, though I’m experienced in print as well. I hope to continue
employing this enjoyment in design in all areas of my work. And if you can’t tell, I really DO like bananas!
[In the picture] Tinkering with my 2004 Audi S4. Yes, I've owned an assortment of german cars.
Not only is Mat a fantastic designer and able to bring a wide variety of ideas to make a design workable and fresh, he is also fun to work with and is good to burn through challenges of any kind. There are as many personalities as there are people, but some are people you just like being around, and that is definitely Mat. I recommend him and encourage people to connect with and get to know him too.
