Matthew Boyer
Designer, Los Angeles
My name is Matthew Boyer and I have worked as a technical designer for over 5 years, learning all that I can from the Los Angeles fashion industry. I have had the honor of working with great 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 been able to dabble in almost every apparel category on the market today. I have even worked cross-industry, leading in consumer streetwear to uniform workwear to even custom entertainment pieces.
As a technical designer & product developer, I have had the chance to explore along 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.
