“Matt is a rare gem in the creative world… a first-class writer and a true creative. I work with a lot of writers, and rarely is the quality even close to Matt’s. His world-building is exceptional. He hides exposition effortlessly. His characters are incredibly rich, full of life, and nuance… [they’re] so unique in their own voice but touch on the universal.
Truth be told, I spent a lot of the recording sessions crying. He understands love—the absolute core of it.
I am in awe of this man. I am obsessed with his talent, and I am blessed to have been able to work with him.”

“I cannot identify anyone else in my professional experience more deserving of such a glowing recommendation.
Matt has… unrivaled acumen when it comes to writing, world-building and telling stories, with his incredible skill of seeing through the eyes of his characters.
He consistently found ways to develop engaging and thoughtful narrative elements - pushing the envelope of narrative design and world-building in [our] games.
Bringing Matt onto your team… will catapult your product to new frontiers. I would stake my reputation on it!”
Madi Cooper - Producer
(Treyarch)
“Matt is an extraordinary writer.
He is ambitious, charismatic, and attentive… and knocked out writing tasks with ease and precision.
Outside of writing, he was the narrative representative for the audio department, providing music and in-booth VO feedback… to ensure game-wide narrative consistency.
I’m happy to personally respond to any questions for any employer lucky enough to get Matt’s resume on their desk.”
Erin Kwong - Lead Writer

“Matt is a one-of-a-kind narrative craftsman… a gorgeous writer. His character dialogue is thought-provoking, empathetic, and distinctive – whether in dramatic cinematic scenes or punchy, pointed barks.
His consistent ability to bring out the humanity within characters and worlds makes for gut-wrenching, singular story scenes.
Matt’s writing often left me speechless.”
Dee Bell - Narrative Designer
(Compulsion Games)
“…an outstanding Senior Writer and master of his craft.
Matt has great instincts for story design and development, and fantastic compositional skills… able to whip up high quality scripts, barks, and all other forms of connective narrative tissue at a moment's notice.
His keen eye for setting - and thematically-appropriate worldbuilding - ensured that our environment and character designs were immediately accessible, without sacrificing iconic and memorable aesthetics.
There's very little he can't do!”
Toby Hulse - Audio Director
(Counterplay Games)
“…I've never worked with a narrative designer who cared so much and was so deeply in tune with how to convey story from both a visual and auditory standpoint.
He had inspiring insight… and really helped drive the creative to new levels of excellence.
He is a unicorn within his field.”
