Matt Collins

Product Designer & Illustrator

Hey there, I'm a product designer & illustrator in Portland, Oregon. I love to make stuff.

Product Design

Senior-level designer of products, applications, & dynamic user experiences. Expertise in designing and building functioning advanced prototypes in Figma.

Creative Direction

From 2012 to 2023, I was the founder and creative director of a design company that acquired Commonwealth Skateboarding, Portland's only indoor skatepark. Under my ownership & direction we turned it into a thriving community, retail space, and wholesale brand which continues on for the skaters of PDX.
