Hi - Thanks for stopping by!

Matt is a Connecticut-based visual artist working in photography, painting and graphic design. Matt’s graphic design studio has afforded him an award winning career and the ability to do what he loves everyday. Over the years Matt has had the opportunity to partner with numerous clients to produce a variety of creative projects including; branding and logo development, websites, marketing collateral and custom one-of-a-kind pieces of art for home interiors. Matt also enjoys his time behind the lens shooting everything from landscapes to family portraits and headshots.

Matt studied at Central Connecticut State University where he earned his Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design. His background in photography dates back to elementary school where he was fortunate enough to be exposed to the darkroom, developing his own film and making his own prints at an early age. He continued to study and learn photography throughout his high school and college years and could always be found with a camera in hand. Currently Matt works out of his home studio in West Hartford, CT where he owns and operates Common Thread Design + Photography. His work has been exhibited throughout New England.

“The best part of my job is being able to connect clients with art that resonates on some level as an extension or reflection of their own stories.”
