Communication Designer
Matty Hodgkins
Matty draws on his experience in Industrial Design to combine designerly ways of knowing with a creative toolkit that allows him to distil the complex relationships between people, products and systems, into clear narratives—and with a focus on designing the ‘right’ thing, rather than being restrained by simply producing physical solutions.
As a fellow of the RSA and former finalist, he received a commendation for his service design solution that helped deliver financial security for a demographic of workers in the UK economy. It was the start of Matty’s passion for understanding the relationship between services and the people who access them; compelling him to spend time working in the third sector, where he developed an ability to apply empathy to every stage of his practice.
Most creative when…
Matty gets his best ideas when drifting off to sleep—the liminal space where creativity and insight are experienced during the transition from wakefulness to sleep.
