Bearded is a San Francisco-based design agency. It was founded in 2008 by Michael Grotty and Matt Braun, who are still with the company today. The team has worked on everything from wood type revival to an upcoming documentary about the web. "I kept me busy for a few years, too busy most of the time," he says.
Matt Griffin shows us how empathy and sensitivity to the world around us is the key to great design. He teaches us how as a leader, the worst decision is no decision. He explains how hands are his most invincible UX resource or tool. He also inspires us starting out to take 'every damn opportunity we can get'.
