Summary
Matthew Ward is a seasoned designer-technologist who has spent over 25 years shaping the intersection of light, video, and live experience design, founding and leading companies that brought pioneering projection and LED display products to market. As founder of Tekamaki and Element Labs and now Head of Product at Superlumenary and Emerging Technologies lead at Fuse Technical Group, he blends hands-on product development, IP strategy, and real-time control systems expertise to enable novel spatial and theatrical experiences. His work includes high-profile, boundary-pushing projects—like a 360-degree projection surface for EA’s E3 show—and multiple patented products (VersaTILE, VersaTUBE, Stealth, Cobra) that influenced entertainment and architectural displays. He also curates thinking on displays as cultural infrastructure through XRTICLE and community-building with frame:work, bringing both practitioner-focused thought leadership and tabletop-gamer curiosity to technical product management.
