Top SchoolMatthew Rea is a Staff Product Designer with 11 years of experience who blends a strong engineering foundation and human-centered design to lead complex web and software products for clinical genetics and enterprise e-business. He has a track record of scaling design teams and practices—from migrating design systems at Thermo Fisher to directing a 15–20 person UX and front-end organization at MilliporeSigma—while remaining hands-on with prototypes, usability labs, and implementation. Comfortable as both player-coach and servant-leader, he aligns cross-functional stakeholders through story mapping, research-driven discovery, and pragmatic delivery artifacts. Based in Missouri, he pairs formal HCI training and a BFA in design with a creative technologist mindset, often surfacing non-obvious usability insights from contextual inquiry and listening labs to drive measurable product value.
