Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Matteson is an associate professor and multidisciplinary designer based in Chicago with over a decade of professional experience blending graphic, product, and architectural thinking. He investigates the feedback loop between decision-making and design, applying numeric optimization and computational methods to typographic and visual problems while probing the tensions among intention, tectonics, and immateriality. Founder of the design collective Obstructures and partner in Kusasystems, he balances practice, research, and teaching—holding an MFA from the University of Chicago and a long track record of national and international exhibitions and presentations. His work spans academic research at the Center for Robust Decisionmaking in Climate and Energy Policy and hands-on studio practice, a combination that often surfaces unexpected computational rigor in projects grounded in painterly and material concerns.
