Hired.

Today I accepted a job as a web designer at an innovative and interesting company that I believe will allow me to create a lot of good work while learning from and collaborating with some stunningly good designers and programmers. I can’t help but worry that it will be tough to live up to the talent already there, but I’m looking forward to giving it a shot.

I am nervous, but excited, about moving to Baltimore—for reasons not the least of which is that Camp and I have discussed moving to the area for quite some time. D.C. is an amazing city—and Baltimore has some interesting parts, too—so it’s only fitting that we select it as the next town to paint red.

And I’m grateful to the folks in Baltimore for the opportunity, and to Shaun Inman for providing the tip about the job on his web site.

Here we go…

    Congrats Matt! All of your work is so esthetically pleasing. Your beauty is in your simplicity. Every thing you do is so clean and crisp; so visually appealing. You will excel in your new job. Say hello to John Waters.
