Throughout his career, Matt has worked independently, for a print shop, at a design agency, and for a commercial signage and graphics company.
Matt has a strong passion for teaching and a vision to help people of all ages enter the design field. His previous experiences teaching graphic design fundamentals at local schools and conferences have inspired the foundation of Elevant.
One of Matt's favorite concepts to share is, "We all, even the most renowned designers in history, start as amateurs—beginners."
Lyndon Gehman is a brand identity designer and the creative force behind his independent branding studio, Lyndo, in Myerstown, PA.
