Matthew Stanford is an avid fan of hip-hop, technology, and Visual Communication Design. He is a recent graduate of OSU's Department of Design http://design.osu.edu/dept_grad.html (MFA), CCAD's Advertising & Graphic Design program (BFA), and currently works as a User Experience Designer in Louisville, Kentucky.

Matthew approaches design as more of a scientific communication exercise than an abstract form of expressionism. Simplicity, usability, and research are all terms he uses frequently and employs in both his design methodology and his lifestyle—from the products/services he purchases to the activities he enjoys.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Matthew's other interests include social awareness, social-networking, non-fiction literature, alternative health, and trying exotic food from strange restaurants. Also, he only loves drama when it's in the movies.
