Matthew Boyer
Orange County + Los Angeles
My name is Matthew Boyer and I have worked in the apparel industry for over a decade, learning all that I can from the California + global fashion industry. I have had the honor of working with market leading employers and been given the opportunity to work in a variety of different apparel categories. From streetwear to evening wear, swimwear to suiting; I have developed almost every apparel category on the market today. I have even worked cross-industry by leading programs from celebrity endorsed consumer streetwear, Fortune 500 brqnd uniforms, and even custom entertainment pieces.
My latest journey has been along the explosive evolution of AI + 3D within the product development industry. Focusing on building corporate infrastructure and streamlined innovation within pre-existing development powerhouses, I have had the honor of leading the forefront exploration of AI business development from the lens of a creative and product based ecosystem. Laying the groundwork for entire procedural revolution & AI + 3D utilization for coworkers and team members, all while maintaining comfort, communication, and connectivity across departments, is strongly fulfilling.
As a corporate creative, I have had the chance to explore the path of how a product get from conception to consumer. Being involved at every stage from design to production, I have learned so much from the process, the industry, and those around me. I am confident in my skills & training and am excited to see what more I can learn in my next stage of life.
