Matthew Dix
Senior UI/UX Designer

Summary
As an expert Ui/Ux designer I have worked with many of my own clients as well as for various start ups and agencies around the globe. Fortunately some of my work has attracted attention and awards such as Visual Identity of the year for The Silo Hotel and a Silver BIMA (UK) award for UCL’s employee experience app. I’m looking to apply my entrepreneurial and agency experience into building great products with great people.
