> Breaking the mundane | UX Designer II @Amazon working on Interactive Ads

Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/mattahrens

I try to be a little bit of everything; music lover, sports fan, inspired chef, tech enthusiast, budding runner, fine artist, typography nerd, sneakerhead, and keyboard fanatic.

I love creating and feel like there's never enough time to dabble in everything I want to - from 3D design, illustration, sneaker design, dumb doodles, wacky interfaces, building legos, making stuff just makes me feel fulfilled.

I love what I do, I'm lucky to do it, and maybe we'll be doing it together!
