Matthew Carleton is a User Experience Manager with over a decade of experience building and scaling UX teams and shipping polished front-end experiences from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Currently leading UX at Red Hat, he combines strategic design leadership with hands-on implementation—contributing code and accessibility improvements to well-known open-source projects like PatternFly. His background spans running a boutique design studio, consulting, and full-stack website work for developer-focused projects such as the Operator SDK site, giving him a rare blend of product, brand, and developer-experience sensibilities. Matthew’s work focuses on practical, responsive interfaces and design systems that solve complex layout and accessibility challenges. He’s equally comfortable refactoring a mobile-friendly wizard as he is guiding cross-functional teams to mature UX processes. Colleagues value his steady leadership and the way he translates design systems into tangible, reusable UI components.
