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 digital tools. Especially when people bend them in ways that break our understanding of what’s possible. Watching it happen 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.
