👋🏻 Hello.
I'm Matthew Marquise.
📍 Raleigh, NC
Currently Marketing and CX Intern @ CQC
You can call me Matt! As a product designer & front-end developer, I have a strong passion for creating human-centered websites, apps, and software that better the lives of others. Using color schemes, typography, design systems, and visual hierarchy that compliment each other, I’m able to create stunning designs while keeping the user front and center. With my experience as a front-end developer, I also acknowledge the technical requirements of designs and understand how designers and developers collaborate to bring a product to life.
My Design Process:
My Journey:
From a very early age I was fascinated by technology. When I was born the thought of touchscreens, self-driving and or electric cars, the ability to participate in video calls, or even VR and AR experiences was non-existant in my head. However, when I got an iPhone 3G in 2009 it captivated my attention and it inspired me to explore tech further. I didn't just want to understand how apps and websites worked, I wanted to create them. I was first encouraged to give coding a try by relatives who are software engineers. After being introduced to user experience design and coding, I was finally able to fulfill that desire. Though I enjoy coding, I had seemed to have a stronger passion for design. Wheter it's designing a logo, marketing campaign, or fully responsive website, I enjoy the process of research, designing, and testing much more. Not long after my introduction to design, I began understanding how to create significantly better products for users, using empathy through research and testing.
When I'm not designing or coding:
I enjoy reading (current books: User Friendly and The Design of Everyday Things), playing tennis, making then eating pizza and other italian foods, watching movies while trying to figure out how each shot was made as if I was the director, playing video games, and participating in and attending design events and hackathons.
