About Matthias
About Matthias
My name is Matthias, I’m a Freelance Graphic / Brand / Web / Production Designer, Sign Printer / Fabricator / Installer and at my core, Entrepreneur & Project Manager. Over the past 26 years, I’ve built a portfolio filled with highly creative, technically challenging projects that span both analog and digital worlds. Starting my career in 2000 meant learning design the “old school” way while growing alongside the digital revolution, which shaped me into a well-rounded “Jack of all Creative Trades.” Today, I focus on branded graphic and web design, backed by a career long love for strategic signage and large-format printing. This blend of hands-on fabrication and creative digital expertise makes me a bit of a rarity
in a world that’s increasingly digital-only.

I cannot say enough good things about Matthias and Native Creative Design. I recently started a new job and am still learning the workflow of my superiors, and let me tell you I took Matthias along for a ride! Regardless of the endless changes and revisions no matter how small or large, he met every expectation and then some. The Pittsburgh Marathon flyers, banners & signage he helped us create are beautiful and will be used for many events in the future. I cannot say enough good things and cannot recommend their services enough. Truly appreciate everything they did!
-Jane Sheerer
Working with Matthias at Native Creative Design was a pleasure. His attention to detail; clear explanations; and savvy suggestions were integral in bringing our logos to life!!
-Gary (Owner)
Native did three signs for me and it was a great experience from start to finish. My sign job was probably not the easiest since we were going into the outlets but Matthias cut through all of the red tape for me with professionalism and timeliness. I tried several other companies who were discouraged by the regulations stipulated by simon outlets and Native handled it with ease. Also my sign looks great! On time and on budget is worth a million stars. Thank you!
-Lea Manter
I am so glad I took the leap of faith to work with Native Creative Design, specifically Matthias. From day one of the project he was hands on deck and extremely receptive of our ideas. He constantly provided us with updates and finished the project way earlier than the planned date. His installation was smooth and seamless and he provided us with high end material while still being super cost effective. Matthias was very excited to work on this project and you could really tell that he cares about every detail as if it was his own business. Overall, if you’re looking for a smaller local sign shop company with 5 star service, Native Creative Design MUST be your destination. Looking forward to working with them again soon for future projects! If you’re looking to get an estimate, or to get more info about Native Creative’s work, check out http://nativecreativedesign.com
