THE PERSON BEHIND IT

MATTHEW BRODEUR

Made on an island.Built for a bigger world.

Matthew Brodeur smiling in front of a painted wall
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

I grew up on Cuttyhunk, a small island off Massachusetts, where getting to school meant getting on a boat. These days, Brooklyn is home.

The path here has taken me through a hotel technology startup, founding a creative agency, building brands, and now building businesses of my own.

I’m as interested in how something works as how it feels. Food, design, photography, technology. Different ways of paying attention. Different ways of making something worth sharing.
