MATTHEW FRANCISCO AGUILA

Senior UX Designer

I love to travel and take photographs. I grew up on a steady diet of comic books and role playing games. I built a SCSI computer with two graphics cards at age 14. I’ve been a fan of science fiction since I was little.

User experience design and front-end web development stand out as my areas of expertise. I have a versatile background in web, yet also excel at identity and print design. Some would call me a T-shaped designer. Prior to Microsoft, I worked as UX designer at Getty Images and as a freelance designer for small to medium businesses in the Seattle area.

I hold a Bachelors of Arts in Visual Communication from Brooks Institute. I live in the peaceful Loyal Heights area of Ballard with my 9 year old wolfdog, Orion.

Resume

What people think of my work.

Full of creativity, Matt was wonderful to work with and an amazingly talented designer. He always gave 110% to his design work which not only looked great but made for an ideal user experience. Matt is a very thoughtful designer, always making sure he's assessed every aspect of each project and he would always bring new ideas and concepts to the table. I would jump at the chance to work with Matt again as he is one of the most proactive and focused designers I've worked with.

Matt has a talent for turning an undeveloped idea into a innovative and user friendly design. He displayed this talent on each and every project I had the opportunity to work alongside him on.

I hired Matt to build my Identity as a Photographer while I was attending Seattle Central Community College. He was responsive to what I was looking for and blew me out of the water when I saw his ideas come to life and the options he gave for logo and web design. Everything flowed together nicely from the logo, to the color scheme and the entire theme of my identity was exactly what I was going for.
