Trust

I’ve been lucky enough to do some pretty interesting work with some pretty cool people, and even luckier to have earned their trust. Here are a few incredibly nice things they’ve said about me. Excuse me while I go blush.

Matt Balara has a sharp strategic view on the online business, a very good thing for a creative. A brilliant presentator, he also knows very well how people consume a website.

— Laurent Burdin, Managing Director, SinnerSchrader

Matt is a very dedicated and experienced online professional with a great eye for UID design and usability. Furthermore his online skills are wide ranged with strong strategic business knowledge and branding concept perception.

— Niels Asbjørn Schuldt, Global Interactive Marketing Manager, ECCO Shoes

Matt is amazing. Extremely creative, passionate, with enough sense to create visually stunning but practical experiences - great online apps, not just great online art. Matt is also a great leader and his diverse background/experience makes him valuable and also fun to work with.

— Jaime Rodriguez, Technology Evangelist at Microsoft

I met Matt when in his function as Art Director for SinnerSchrader. I liked his personality as well as his great knowledge of anything going on on the web. Great work results on usecases and very well structured approach.

— Stephan Uhrenbacher, Founder & CEO of QYPE

I know Matt as a brilliant interface designer who knows about design and usabilty. He is an intelligent partner for the best solution in getting a website to life.

— Thorsten Jankowski, IT System Analyst & Project Manager at Volkswagen

It’s good to meet a designer who can combine a great understanding of user needs with the necessary business processes. The end result is a complete concept that considers all angles as well as leaving room for the future of your web business.

— Dinah Alam, eCommerce Manager at TUI Travel PLC

As Germany’s largest distance learning school we needed a web site that not only suited our expectations, but also those of our customers. Matt understood this, and conceived and designed a site which became an essential part of our success. He is a rare creative person who can achieve an integral understanding of a project, and then implement it perfectly. I’m sorry to hear that he’s moving back to Australia. We’ll miss him.

— Ingo Karsten, CEO ILS Institut für Lernsysteme GmbH
