Hi, I’mMatt Griffin.

Matt Griffin

Product design leader in Ottawa, Ontario

I build exceptional design teams and help shape the products and businesses they’re building.

I’ve been immersed in design for over twenty years. I spent the last nine years leading design at Shopify across fintech and commerce, and nearly a decade building Bearded, an award-winning, internationally recognized design agency.

I’m at my best with smart, talented, energetic people who challenge each other and make each other’s work better. Together, we can take on ambitious problems and build a company with enormous potential.

Today, I’m also building and shipping products with AI, and helping designers take their ideas further.

As Head of Design, I’m looking to help shape company strategy, build an exceptional team, and stay close to the work.

Here’s more about what I’m looking for
