Hello!
I’m Matt Davey, I’m available for speaking, user interfacing, product design, creative direction, brunch, radio broadcasts, photography, art and travel.
Professionally, I’m a design leader seasoned in shaping and scaling teams. For the last decade I've been at 1Password where I lead user experience, research and design as the Chief Experience Officer.
I am proud to have helped ship 1Password across multiple platforms, scaled the design and research team and launched the business product now used by over 200,000 businesses.
Out of hours I cavort between hobbies, occasionally host a morning radio show, create artworks with a pen plotter and am always agreeable to a cup of tea and a biscuit. I grew up around the fine city of Norwich, England which although popular in the 1400s is now considered rather quiet.
Ethos
I believe it’s important to have clear principles and an opinionated stance on building teams and products; these articles share some of mine.
Speaking
I enjoy speaking on a number of topics across leadership, design, user research and culture. I’ve spoken previously at Leading Design, Fifteen Seconds Festival, Canvas Conf and Startup Summit. If you think I might be right for your event please get in touch.
