Hello, I'm Matthew Encina. I'm a creative director, designer, and educator. I create content about living by design, and I share how that manifests in different parts of my life– home, work, and habits.

I’m a Filipino-American, born and raised in Los Angeles, and I've been a creative professional for over 20 years– directing, designing, and telling stories for some pretty awesome clients. I love to rock climb, breakdance, play video games, drink coffee, and nerd out on mechanical keyboards and comic books.

I need your input. I'm working on a new video covering aspects of my upcoming X-ray project, a new set of products I've designed in collaboration with others. What are you curious about when it comes to this subject of creativity, making products, collaborating, etc.?

Questions about my process? Based on your feedback on my last post, I’ll be creating a video about my process for designing the Modern Materials and X-ray keycap sets that I’ve been working on lately. I’d love to answer some of your questions, so feel free to leave them below.

What kind of content are you interested in, from me, in 2024?

Happy new year! I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season and are finding direction in this new year. ☕️ I have a few projects in the works that I'm documenting and will be sharing with you all in the coming months, but I'm always interested in hearing about what you want more of.
