Meet the founder

A 28-year-old passionate for design, with an interesting story that spans from skateboarding to entrepreneurship.

Growing up in Melbourne’s South East, surrounded by tough conditions and dangerous influences, I was determined to carve out a better path for myself. Starting at age 11, I was a sponsored skateboarder, making money and traveling internationally, until a knee injury led me to reassess my future.

Turning to my passion for technology and creativity, I pursued studying digital design in 2012, while leveraging my skateboarding connections to arrange meetings with brand owners for early client work. In 2013, I moved to Brisbane to take on a full-time role as the Creative Director for a major skateboarding distribution, overseeing all aspects of digital content and direction, including website management and graphic design for various footwear and clothing brands within the distribution. In 2015, I left the skate distribution, moved back to Melbourne, and pursued freelance designing full-time, collaborating directly with individuals, creative agencies, and businesses both locally and internationally to craft captivating designs for websites and brand identity suites.

Which brings us to 2021, when Mantra Digital came into fruition, and the process of building up my team came into play. Now, 3 years later, I lead a powerhouse team, expanding our operations and turning my dreams into reality, not just for myself, but for my family as well.

Having spent over 10 years in the digital space, I’ve helped brands and businesses worldwide not just meet their goals, but surpass them, and I’m excited to do the same for you. Join the Mantra family today, and together, we’ll propel you to the next chapter of your ever-growing journey!

  • I engaged Mantra to completely create my website from scratch. As a start up business, I had my logo and vague identity, but I had no idea how I wanted it to look or feel. From the first engagement right through to the end, the team were able to effectively articulate the style we were after, and went over and above to deliver a website that far exceeded our expectations. They were quick, creative and professional and I would highly recommend mantra to anyone seeking website or creative work!

  • Mantra created a profound expression of our company image. We were so thrilled with what Mantra produced that we are return customers, with new material needed consistently once again they have produced with perfect execution. We are planning to return to Mantra very soon, with their gifted skills in design and their ability to hear what the client is seeking and then convert it into powerful imagery, we have no hesitancy in offering this testimony on the work of Mantra digital.

  • I recently had Matt design my new website. He was just brilliant, especially for me as anything to do with computers other than emails and google searches gives me the heebie jeebies. He was so patient and not once did I feel any haste or pressure. He built a beautiful site for me just from me verbally describing what I envisioned. The care and guidance from the start and even now is just what a person like me was needing. If you want a high end job done efficiently you are in safe hands with Matt. Highly recommend!

When anything does not go according to plan, he has the ability to think of a plan, discuss it with you to ensure your needs have been heard and met. Their creative minds and his capacity to design is just out of this world, I would highly recommended his work to anyone that is looking for a real professional in the space of creative website design.
