Matt Downey · Head of Design

Twenty years of design, from running an agency to building an AI startup

I’ve spent two decades building digital businesses. Right now that means leading design at Atlas UP, where we’re building AI-powered tools for entrepreneurs, and writing Digital Native, a signal-only newsletter for designers.

Before this I founded 45royale and spent 14 years partnering with household name brands and startups go from zero to one.

“Most designers simply take direction and bring few original ideas to the table. That’s not Matt’s gig. He has creative vision and the chops to support it. He’s going to kill it. Every. Time.”
