Matthew Long

Frontend + UX

Hi, I'm Matthew (or Matt - either's fine)! I'm a designer + developer who loves turning complex problems into simple, usable interfaces. For the past seven years, I've been using JavaScript, CSS, and modern frameworks like React and Next.js to build everything from polished standalone applications to complex A/B tests for Fortune 500 companies.

I take a data-driven approach to design, using my background in conversion optimization and analytics to inform decisions. I love using Figma to communicate design ideas and collaborate with others, and understand the impact that design systems and component libraries can have on the user experience. My focus is always on building software that feels natural to use, solves real problems, and leaves people with a better experience than they expected.
