What truly impressed me about Matt was his ability to navigate high-level strategy while remaining laser-focused on the smallest design details. He has an incredible knack for taking complex, technical workflows and transforming them into intuitive, seamless experiences. Whether he’s designing a core feature or refining an existing product, Matt brings clarity, structure, and empathy to every project.
One of Matt’s superpowers is his collaborative approach. He understands that great design doesn’t happen in a silo, and he excels at bringing together cross-functional teams to deliver the best possible outcomes. He’s equally adept at communicating with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders — always advocating for the user while ensuring that business goals are met.
Beyond his technical skills, Matt brings a creative energy and positive mindset that elevate the entire team. His design process is thoughtful and user-centered, but he’s also pragmatic and business-savvy, ensuring that his work makes a real impact. During our time working together, I saw firsthand how his contributions improved the way users interact with Google Workspace products. His ability to think beyond the immediate task and consider long-term scalability and user satisfaction is what makes him an exceptional designer.
Matt is a leader, a collaborator, and an innovator who brings out the best in everyone around him.
Matt, it was a true pleasure working with you! I look forward to seeing all the great things you’ll accomplish in the future. 🚀

Matt is not just a UX designer; he’s a natural leader! He and I worked closely together at Experian to design a brand new platform from the ground up.
I observed his talents firsthand as a UX designer and also witnessed his professional skills that reached beyond just design – he was always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of how we can evolve and make our products better. He consistently takes initiative and is extremely self-directed in a fast-paced, high pressure environment. I enjoyed working with Matt because of his great attitude and unwavering dedication to produce excellent, high quality work that solves complex problems for our customers. He is a true asset to have on any team!

I’ve worked alongside Matt at two companies, Honeywell and Experian. Matt is unquestionably a highly talented designer with communication skills to match. Matt has a unique way of translating someone else’s ambiguous vision into a neatly packaged spec, better than anything that was previously envisioned. He works incredibly fast, but without haste. He is highly organized and detail oriented. He gets along well with everyone on the team, and he’s always ready to give kudos to those who deserve it.
Matt’s communication skills make him a valuable asset to any team, for he can talk to engineers, designers, product, and general naysayers. He’s always a champion for the end user, and keeps that user experience as his focus throughout his process. He has a deep appreciation for user research, and looks forward to collaborating with researchers to help inform his design. Matt is truly a shining star in his craft, and I know he will go far. I am honored and privileged to say that I have worked with Matt Solis.
In life
When I’m not immersed in design, I cherish time with my wife and our dog, soaking up the beauty of the Colorado Front Range. Whether it’s snowboarding, mountain biking, or hiking, I love exploring the outdoors. I’m also passionate about writing and producing music with my band Roundtree or my personal music projects. And, despite my best attempts, I remain in a committed (but frustrating) relationship with the game of golf – always striving to get better!
