Profile: https://flows.cv/matthewkwong1

Hi, I'm Mathew! I’m a Product & Motion Designer based in San Francisco, dedicated to building user-centered digital experiences that bridge the gap between complex technology and intuitive design. 

With a background that blends Product Design/ UX, 3D, and motion graphics, I thrive on turning ambitious ideas into polished, high-performing products.

Between 2020-2024, my career has been defined by a mix of high-growth startup environments and agency-level precision. However, in 2025, I decided to expand my design skill set and pursue a dream of mine to create 3D motion graphic stage visuals for concerts. 

Coming back to the workforce in 2026, I leverage tools like Figma, Cinema 4D, Blender, and AI tools like Cursor and Figma Make to create everything from scalable design systems to immersive 3D motion graphics.

I am always looking for new challenges that allow me to create a tangible difference through design and technology.

### Founder @ Find My COVID Test
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021
Find My COVID Test is the fastest and easiest way to find a COVID-19 test in California, USA. The platform allows for the most personalized COVID-19 test near the patient, based on their preferences for insurance coverage, testing method, distance, etc. My website increases the accessibility of COVID-19 testing. 

Created as a direct response to the challenges of finding a COVID-19 test, Find My COVID Test was created from start to finish within 6 weeks during the Summer of 2020. The idea formed after my own struggles finding a COVID test. Although there are government websites that provide testing information, there is no easy way to immediately filter and find COVID testing that meets your medical background and personal preferences.

To solve this problem, I designed an interactive prototype in Figma and developed the website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Google Maps API, and Firebase. To populate the testing center database, I have hand checked over 300 testing locations in California for the relevant criteria being filtered. 

Since the release of Find My COVID Test, I have been able to positively impact the community by helping more than 3,000 people find COVID-19 tests in an average of 34 seconds.
