WHO IS MATEJ
Matej was born on 23rd August, 2002 in Czech Republic.
Initially started with graphic design in 2020, while he was studying at a business high school in Austria. He really enjoyed the idea of creating something with deeper meaning and an aesthetic look.
Matej shared his work on various social media platforms, which allowed him to get his first clients as a freelancer. It built up to the point where he could quit his job as a receptionist at a casino and start freelancing full-time. He gathered strong experience in Adobe Creative Suite, creating many advertisement posters, cover arts, print designs for apparel, product designs and mixed media work, where he created everything from scratch on a piece of paper. Which later resolved into one of his greatest passions and identity.
After one year of successful freelancing, he managed to get his first full-time job at a German-based streetwear brand called Vicinity where everything picked up speed.
Matej started working at Vicinity on September 1st, 2022.
Since his strong experience was mainly in Photoshop and Illustrator, Matej spent his first months working on advertisement designs for various social media platforms, designing newsletters for email marketing and print designs for upcoming collections.
Currently, the main focus of Matej's work is Vicinity’s Art Direction, production, content management, email newsletter & and UI/UX design.
Currenly, Matej's main focus in his personal life revolves around videography and creating bold aesthetic cinematic visual experiences.
