About

Hello, I'm Matthew Encina. I'm a creative director, designer, and educator. I create content about living by design, and I share how that manifests in different parts of my life– home, work, and habits. I’m a Filipino-American, born and raised in Los Angeles, and I've been a creative professional for over 20 years– directing, designing, and telling stories for some pretty awesome clients. I love to rock climb, breakdance, play video games, drink coffee, and nerd out on mechanical keyboards and comic books. You find out more about me at: https://matthewencina.com @matthewencina You can find me on many platforms: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthewencina/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matthewencina.design/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/matthewencina/ Kit: https://kit.co/MatthewEncina/ Medium: https://medium.com/@matthewencina Learn all about my design studio, Mod Musings: https://modmusings.com https://www.instagram.com/modmusings/
