Matt Aguila

Lead Interactive Designer

I've been doing Interactive Design for about four years. My favorite fundamental design focuses are minimalism, negative space, quality typography, and proper markup. To me, innovative user experience is striving to find the balance between pragmatic design choices and creativity, without compromising one for the other. I am currently employed as a Lead Interactive Designer for EducationDynamics in Seattle.
