My name is Tony Matejek. I'm a designer, maker, gardener, home brewer and many other things. I currently reside in Austin, Texas. I was a graphic designer, then a ux/interaction designer, then a visual designer and now I'm a Senior Product Designer.

My first job out of school was in branding and print design and my job after that was designing environmental graphics. After those jobs I organically moved into experience design and digital product creation. I've seen and done a bit of it all, and made my way into the career I love. I look forward to making life better for people through design while meeting business goals for the companies I work with.

My design philosophy is that the best interface is no interface. Design should get out of the way and maximize the users effectiveness so they can have more time to do what's needful.

How I Do it

How I Do it

My design methodologies revolve around user-centered design practices, and my background in interaction and visual design put me in a unique position. I tell stories using the language of design. I understand the importance of a precise, cohesive, and visually branded product, and how this impacts the overall experience. I have a clear understanding of design research, mental models, and how usability is just as important as a visual language. It's of the utmost importance that business needs are met, as well as those of the users, and I help stakeholders find that balance between the two. I build empathy for my users, and every decision I make is made with their experience and well-being in mind.

I take the insights gained from research, workshops, and conversations with stakeholders and users, and turn those into creative solutions. I solve problems, I create meaningful experiences, I make users effective.

I'm a designer through and through, and truly believe empathetic and thoughtful design can improve the lives of all people in meaningful ways.
