I’m John Matula. I’m a human.
I am a life‑long musician and designer,
starting with piano and traffic signs(!) as a kid.
My passion is systems: the way they get made,
how they’re used, and the benefits they offer us.
I have 14 years’ design experience delivering
SaaS product designs, long-lasting websites
and apps, and technical documentation.
Complex environments are my specialty,
whether that’s in an office or on stage.
I take on design and talent roles
on a contract and temporary basis via
JM Creative, my creative services business.
Otherwise, I’m probably repotting a plant
or making another playlist thumbnail.
Talent
My first set of voice and piano demos are live.
I’m currently editing extra VO and acting samples.
As I return to New York, I’m seeking
contract, group, and stage work. I act,
sing, play piano,
and record voiceovers.
Design
Smarthome is the system I made to switch and adjust
my apartment’s smart devices daily. It’s full control without
barking at voice assistants or rooting around for my phone.
I’m seeking contract and temporary
design roles as I return to New York.
I’m available up to 40 hours per week.
