I’m Matt Thomas, a designer for a little web outfit called Automattic. There, I’ve worked on the design of a great many things, from WordPress, to our hosted service WordPress.com, to WordPress for iPhone. I’ve been a designer since before I knew what that meant. When I was a child, my parents would frequently return home to find their furniture re-arranged, art re-hung, and tables re-set. Ever since, I’ve been interested in making things simpler, more beautiful, and more fun to use. Despite a four-year love affair with print design while obtaining my BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design, I’m loving the life of a web designer. I live on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay with my trusty sidekick, Maggie.

Clever as I am, what you read here in no way represents the views of my employer. So don’t try to pin my antics on them!
