Matthew Roop
I am a designer and creative leader obsessed with making design for human beings. I cut my teeth doing just that while working for the legendary Stefan Sagmeister and Jessica Walsh for three years. After that I served as V.P. of Design at ZEBEDEE, a bitcoin lightning payment SaaS - where I grew the design department from 0 to 20, taking the business from seed to Series B. Once a week I teach branding or motion design at the National University of Singapore.
When I’m not working you can find me chowing down on some Singaporean “local food”, helping my wife run our joint practice, YEYE Design Studio.
I am currently open to part-time or full-time opportunities & relocation.
