About Matt
I'm Matt Kane, a creative technologist with a background in product design, interactive real-time experiences, and developer tooling. I've worked across SaaS, mobile apps, and web in finance, healthcare, sports science, museum tech, and VFX/VR.
I lead design systems and product strategy—scaling design quality and enabling teams to ship with consistency and clarity.
In my spare time I'm a photographer, read many books, and have been a New York Knicks fan my entire life (yes, even through the bad years).
