Matt Schaefer

Experienced digital Product Designer & Art Director at Meta. I consider myself a creative generalist who can tackle almost any problem space.

👋 TLDR

  • Product thinker by default with art super powers.

  • Shipped large and small products. Including interoperable ecosystems across a variety of form factors.

  • Broad Experience working hands-on across a variety of industries, form factors, company/team sizes, and countries.

  • Loves watching a community of creatives bend affordances in ways that break our understanding of what’s possible. This is the ultimate reward. Saw this many times while designing Quill (VR).

🧠 What your getting 

  • Adaptable -  The things I work on change at an intense rate. That's why navigating uncertainty and ambiguity is one of my most important attributes.

  • Generative - I don't just ask questions or critique. I follow up with action.

  • Systematic and Strategic - Even the smallest things I work on seek to answer the basic “who, what, where, why, when, and how” questions.

  • Eager to learn - I dedicate time to experimenting which often leads to new and better pathways.

  • Easy to work with - I prioritize long term collaborative relationships over short term work challenges. That's why I tend to stay at companies for years.
