He has worked previously in New York as a Creative Director of PSYOP and when he isn’t pushing pixels he’s also a founding partner and organizer of design conference Faux Images. After several stints in amazing studios in exciting cities, Mate settled into a position as a partner and creative director of SEHSUCHT in Berlin.
SEHSUCHT’s artists and designers specialize in blending visual storytelling with technical innovation to produce creative content for every platform. Mate’s style and sensibility boils down to a strong graphic foundation combined with an untiring drive and excitement for utilizing new technologies.
