Matthew Holt

I’m an energetic, empathetic, and ambitious designer and developer pushing myself to perfect my craft. I know I will never reach this illusive goal but I tenaciously pursue this goal anyways. I want to be the best I can be, but I want to develop others be their best also. I seek to achieve this goal by constantly learning from others, humbly accepting feedback, but also being willing to defend my work when needed.

I have a passion for my craft and a propensity for both numbers and colors that makes me a force to be reckoned with. I love being challenged, which drives me to continually learn and improve my skills both as a creative and as a person.
