New Kind

Matt Muñoz' background in applied "big D-Design" gives him a unique and interesting perspective on the topics he addresses in speeches and workshops. His professional manner and personal charisma make him an engaging speaker, a capable leader of any group.

Designing a Year

You design every day on projects for other people. You apply rigor and creativity, use form and strategy. But what if you focused these abilities to achieve goals of your own? What if you took on 2013 as your own design experiment?

What do you want to accomplish next year as a designer to be a catalyst for understanding, for collaboration, and for social good.
