HELLO,
My name’s Matt Harvey. I’ve been a creative professional since 2003.
I’ve experienced many different things in many different places; from being a designer and tutor at local training and studio facility, to international design & advertising agencies in Sydney, London and Amsterdam. Mixed with post production, animation, broadcast and gaming studios in between.
My specialities lie in conceptual visual crafting, 2D motion graphics, illustration, design, digital art and creative direction. I’ve had experience behind and in front of cameras and on sets. I’ve directed music videos and created my own custom content.
I’m also passionate about music, illustration and print design. I’ve had experience marketing and managing my band We Lost The Sea since 2012 who have toured locally and internationally. I’ve created video, animated and printed contentas well as managed the social media and marketing.
I’m a creative all rounder with attention to detail and a solid work ethic earned from experience at many different places around the world. I’m currently a full-time freelancer and have my own clients worldwide. I’d really like to make some new contacts and potential long term working relationships.
Please get in touch!
