About Matti

I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, raised by two hardworking parents who reluctantly let me study abroad in Germany when I was 17. After graduating high school I moved to Seattle and worked in cafes until I could afford college.

In college, I developed a strong foundation in art, digital design, and research, while also exploring international experiences in Italy, the Netherlands, and Uganda. These opportunities shaped my passion for crafting human-centered solutions.

Less than a month after graduating college I moved to Switzerland where I lived for ten years. In June 2022, I moved to the Netherlands.
