Hi, I’m Matt Collie—a multidisciplinary Creative Lead with almost a decade of experience in design, marketing and team leadership. I’ve delivered award-winning digital content and developed a strong understanding of how to win and grow accounts for global clients including Deloitte, NHS, and Nokia. I’m passionate about innovative storytelling and delivering visually impactful experiences, with hands-on skills in creative direction, motion graphics, 3D design, brand design, digital content marketing and interactive design. When I’m not shaping campaigns, I’m juggling design projects and emergency call-outs as an on-call firefighter, and I share my life with two chaos-powered golden retrievers, Finn and Jake. I love cartoons, fantasy novels and indie games that pull you into immersive worlds, whether I’m building them or escaping into them.
