AI Consulting & Automation
I work through it with you: where the real opportunity is, what to automate first, and how to get from whiteboard to something working without a six-month project.
HI, I'M MATT!
Product designer. AI tinkerer. Dad. Too many bikes.
I'm based in Melbourne and work with teams across Australia to shape AI ideas into things you can actually click. Fast prototypes, practical automations, and products built to learn from real people.
What I offer
AI Services
Two things I do well: help teams figure out where AI actually fits in their work, and build prototypes fast enough that you can test the idea before you commit to it.
Rapid AI Prototyping
I take an idea from conversation to clickable prototype in days. Real enough to put in front of users, solid enough to learn something useful from.
Selected work
Projects
A mix of recent things — some shipped, some experiments, some still evolving. Each one links to a deeper case study if you want the full story.
What does AI actually look like inside a messy operations team? This is me exploring that — messy data, real decisions, no clean answers.
You answer a few questions, get a shortlist of EVs that actually fit your life, and a warm intro to the leasing and finance people worth talking to. Built in a day to test whether anyone wanted it.
An EV quiz that leads with lifestyle, not specs. Real drivers tested it. The AI match score explained its reasoning in plain English. Built to find out if there was a simpler way into the EV market.
Photo of a part + your car = an email back with fit assessment, install difficulty, tools you'll need, and links to products and videos. Scratched an itch I actually had.
A handful of AI tools for picking EVs and making sense of novated leasing — all jammed into one Firebase project to keep things fast, cheap, and easy to iterate on.
🎉
One-night ideas, odd little experiments, things that made me laugh. Not everything needs a business case.
About me
About
I'm Matt. I like making things — mostly digital, always with real people in mind. I'm happiest when a rough idea becomes something you can actually click and hand to someone. I don't have a fixed way of working; I pick the tools and approach that fit the problem.
Most days that's sketching, building, testing, repeat. When I'm not at the desk it's usually kids, bikes, or drawing something I'll never finish. AI has become a big part of how I work — I build with it daily and I'm genuinely curious about where it's useful and where it just gets in the way.
I also take on consulting and prototyping work directly — AI consulting for teams figuring out where to start, and rapid prototyping for teams that need to move fast.
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 and Supplie, along with smaller tools and experiments to test ideas quickly.
- 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
01
Design
Understand the problem and pick a clear starting point.
02
Build
Make a small slice that's real enough to click and poke at.
03
Test
Put it in front of actual humans and watch what happens.
04
Learn
Keep what worked, change what didn't, drop what doesn't matter.
05
Ship
Get the next version out of Figma/Git and into someone's hands.
First chat to clickable prototype — usually days, not weeks.

Let's talk.
Working on something and want a second brain? Or just want to see if I'm the right fit? Either way, drop me a line.
