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 have paused design work
as I pursue graduate studies
in New York.
