Ampersanderson is the collected works of Matthew Anderson, an Art Director & Graphic Designer based in New York City. Focusing on the interactive and branding realms, Matthew is continuously seeking the intersection of typography, media and social justice.




OVERVIEW

I believe that graphic design has the distinguished ability to engage, inform and uplift viewers and users. It can—and should—effect positive change in our world.

With that understanding, I produce identities and websites that are relevant to those who view and interact with them.


HISTORY

I was born and raised in the moist and mountainous northwest corner of the United States. With a BFA in Graphic Design from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York. During my time in New York I have worked at the design studio Hyperakt, the branding agency DiMassimo Goldstein and the trail blazing beauty brand DailyMakeover.com. Currently I am the Art Director for web at Victoria's Secret PINK
