Summary
Matthew Dean is a multidisciplinary designer and art director based in Greenville, SC, with eight years of experience blending visual design and front-end development. After leading creative and technical initiatives as Senior Art Director/Developer at Health Union, he launched his own practice, Dean Design, to tackle brand, illustration, and interactive projects end-to-end. He pairs traditional graphic sensibilities from a BFA in Graphic Design with hands-on tinkering—building custom PCs and keyboards—to solve practical design and UX problems. Outside client work he stays creatively active illustrating, playing guitar, and diving into long-form storytelling, which informs his narrative-driven approach to design. Notably, his background spans both agency and product environments, giving him a rare fluency across concept, craft, and implementation.
