I work with museums, galleries, dance companies, theatre producers and cultural organisations of every size to create design that looks brilliant and communicates clearly. My focus is on clarity, craft and collaboration - making things that not only look good but actually work for the people using them.
Over the past decade I’ve designed campaigns, identities and motion graphics for organisations including the Science Museum Group, the National Gallery, the British Museum, Dance Umbrella, and the Museums + Heritage Awards. I understand the realities of arts marketing, tight budgets, small teams, short deadlines, and how to make design pull its weight in that world.
The name Catlips comes from my cat, Audrey, who has unusually expressive lips for a cat. When I registered my company, it felt right to build a brand that reflected both her personality and my own: curious, adaptable and just a bit cheeky.
Catlips Creative exists to make arts and culture look as exciting as it feels — whether that’s a bold rebrand, a festival campaign, a 3D animation or a quick turnaround for a last-minute event.
Catlips Creative works with kindness, inclusion and curiosity at its core - values we hold ourselves and our collaborators to.
If you’d like to collaborate, I’d love to hear about your project.
I use a flexible mix of tools to suit each project, from Adobe and Affinity to 3D and motion platforms.

Before founding Catlips Creative, Matt worked in-house and on major campaigns for leading museums and cultural organisations — experience that underpins Catlips’ sector insight today.
