Lifestyle-first EV quiz with an AI-powered Motoru Match score and human explanations, built and tested with real drivers to prove demand for a simpler way into EVs.
Projects
A handful of recent things I’ve designed and built. From scrappy prototypes to live tools, each card is a quick snapshot with a link to a deeper case study if you want the full story.
A concierge-style service that gives people a personalised EV shortlist within 48 hours, with a warm path into novated leasing and finance partners.
Upload a photo of a part, add your car details, and get a quick email back checking fit, install difficulty, tools, tips and links to products and videos.
A small suite of AI tools to help people choose an EV and make sense of novated leasing, built in one Firebase project to ship fast and learn cheaply.
About
I’m Matt. I like making things, mostly digital products, and I’m happiest when I can take a rough idea and turn it into something real you can click and play with. I’m not tied to one way of doing it: I enjoy learning new tools, trying different approaches and figuring it out as I go.
Most days that means sketching, testing and shipping small pieces with a team. The rest of the time I’m chasing kids, drawing, or riding one of too many bikes. AI is just another tool in the mix for me – useful when it makes things clearer and simpler for people.
What I do
- Take fuzzy briefs and turn them into a simple plan and a first version.
- Design the flow and interface, then get things far enough in code to feel real.
- Build things like Motoru, an EV comparison site, plus other small tools and experiments.
- Work best in teams that care about real users and are willing to keep improving the product.
Who I am
- Easy-going, collaborative and straight with feedback.
- Big on culture, sharing what I know and learning from others.
- Often involved in local and community projects when I’m not at the desk.
- Artist and bike nerd who takes the work seriously, but not myself.
How I like to work
Design
Understand the problem and pick a clear starting point.
Build
Make a small slice that’s real enough to click and poke at.
Test
Put it in front of actual humans and watch what happens.
Learn
Keep what worked, change what didn’t, drop what doesn’t matter.
Ship
Get the next version out of Figma/Git and into someone’s hands.
Usually from first chat to a clickable prototype in a few days, not weeks.
Contact
Let’s talk about what you’re building next.
Best way to reach me is email, but LinkedIn or a quick call works too. If you’d like to see more detail or specific prototypes, I’m happy to walk through things live.
