Hi, I'm Matias
Product Designer born in Argentina, raised in Brazil, and now based in the UK. I bring systems thinking, strong UI skills, and a people-first approach to building digital products – and a soft spot for a good GIF and a bad pun.
I started my career in Computer Sciences and quickly fell in love visual design. I'm a self-taught Graphic Designer that ended up spending nearly a decade in the creative industry as an Art Director before shifting towards product design, blending creativity with problem-solving and a user-centred mindset.
To get here, I invested in deepening my knowledge of User Experience Design and learning new skills to migrate into Product Design. That path led me through financial platforms, crypto startups, and eventually across the Atlantic.
Since landing in England with my wife in 2018 (and becoming a proud dad soon after), I’ve focused on designing for impact. What drives me is being part of diverse and cross-functional teams that tap into my skills and thirst for new challenges to learn, help, grow and get better together. I’ll always go the extra mile – ready to collaborate and have fun.
At Nutmeg, I was part of a team full of talented, friendly people and deepened my understanding of product design in cross-functional environments. This kick-started my journey to becoming the professional I am today.
Improving digital experiences by creating solutions based on user-centred best practices and product strategy became my standard. Also, the constant collaboration with fellow designers and software engineers made me realise how much I enjoy to craft design systems.
Next, at NewsUK, I joined the dedicated NewsKit Design System team — and that’s where I found my groove: scaling systems, improving collaboration, and enabling better design outcomes for entire organisations. I had the opportunity to work on one of the most recognised multi-brand Design Systems in the industry, which solidify my path as a Design System and DesignOps specialist.
Today, I work as a Product Design Senior Manager at FanDuel, as a hybrid designer and leader, I navigate the intersection of craft and strategy. I balance getting hands-on with tokens and components with team leadership, goal setting, and cross-functional planning. I work closely with designers, product managers, and engineers to help teams ship with quality, consistency, and autonomy – advocating for best design practices, and empowering teams to deliver high-quality solutions that align product goals with user needs.
