\n\t\t\tHello.\t<\/h2>\n\t

My name is Matt Collins. I’m an art director with 25+ years of NYC agency experience, building brands while creating content that energizes and inspires.<\/p>\n

I have an original creative vision and the ability to bring that vision to life, turning great ideas into successful ad campaigns and branded materials.<\/p>\n

I enjoy backcountry hiking trips, doing woodworking projects, and planning our next travel adventures. I’m the proud father of two grown daughters, and my wife is an amazing art teacher here in New Jersey where I have my home base.<\/p>\n

I’m available for projects of all kinds, and would love to talk about what we can work on together. Shoot me an email at:<\/p>\n
