Bio
Tim Gale
You don’t often come across someone with a keen eye for design like Matt. I hired Matt as we were building out the design team and from the moment he joined he began to make an impact. Matt’s ability to understand the problem at hand whilst applying best practice design patterns had a lasting effect on both the product and the team, not to mention his skills in latte art! Matt would be an asset to any team. I look forward to seeing where the future takes him.

Matt was always a positive influence within the team and someone who the whole team could always rely on.

Product Designer

Jun 2021 - Present
As a product designer at Cognassist I am responsible for the aesthetic and overall usability of the platform. Things includes everything from the onboarding workflows, to the assessment, the report and the post assessment experience. I am able to do this by gathering user research and working closely with key stakeholders across the business as well as the product team. This means creating low fidelity wireframes in Figma which are later transformed into high fidelity UI mock-ups and prototypes when needed. Show less
