About

Hello, my name is Matt Freed. I grew up in Indiana, surrounded by corn and soybean fields. In Arizona now, one might say I’ve gone from corn to cactus. Regardless of location, my passion for design and art remains constant.

I used to watch my mom sitting at her wooden desk in the warm summers. With the windows open, and a slight breeze, she would dip her pen into India ink, and I would hear the sharp metal tip scratch against the rough paper.

Over and over, dip and scratch, dip and scratch, for hours until the dark lines formed recognizable shapes. Later after the ink dried, she would go back with loose watercolor strokes to add depth and life to her work. She would frame her art and hang it on our walls.

Those memories are vivid to me, and I knew I wanted to be an artist.
