About
Hello, I am an Industrial Designer based in the Philadelphia area, and a recent graduate from Jefferson University (formerly Philadelphia University) in the Industrial Design program (2018).
At Jefferson, I was the student President of the IDSA Chapter and involved in organizing and running the Tandem Design Conference, a student-run multi-disciplinary conference hosting workshops and speakers from a wide scope of creative industries.
I worked most recently as a Product Design Engineer at Crane Payment Innovations, assisting in developing new technologies and products for the payment electronics industry. Now I'm seeking new creative opportunities with a targeted focus of sustainable mission and innovative, design-led companies.
I find a lot of inspiration in people, and how we interact with and experience each other and the world around us. I want to design the products that people appreciate and that help us live our lives the way we want to.
Please take a look at some of my current and past design work on my Behance page: https://www.behance.net/Matthew_Selnick
Thank you!
Aspiring Industrial Designer with a love for skateboarding, woodworking, and design. -
