Award winning Designer, art director and Creative Director

I partner with companies to develop strategic, innovative print and digital creative to help build best in class brands.

European Heritage. American Know-how.

Having grown up in a small town outside of Birmingham, England, I’ve enjoyed an exciting and diverse career in professional sports marketing, publishing, branding and advertising. At my core, beyond a deep love for English football, graphic design and identity is my true calling. That said, I’m very excited by the big idea. The ideas that move needles and mountains. Ideas that create trackable results and resounding successes for clients large and small.

Over the last 17 years, I've worked in a variety of industries across the map from Wolverhampton to London to Houston, honing my conceptual creative, branding, design and digital media skills.

Reaching Audiences. And Moving Them To Action.

Each of these disciplines has given me a unique perspective on communication and refined my insights into how they work synergistically to propel a brand forward. To accomplish goals. To set the brand apart. To move the audience to the desired action.

I've had the pleasure to work with incredibly talented people and smart, successful organizations through the years and collaboration energizes me. I work hard and believe in one, overarching philosophy: to make beautifully simple and effective work. 

Southall 7 Creative

To be able to create the type of work I desired, I formed Southall 7 Creative in early 2016. With my network of creative and technical associates, we can assemble efficient, passionate creative teams specific to your needs. Or I can tackle your challenges on my own, pencil in hand.

Cheers,
Matt
