About the Guest – Matthew John Murphy
Matthew would describe what he does as “a little complicated”. As a trained graphic designer his creativity and EQ have combined to allow him to work for the last 11 years far outside the remit of just graphic design. Although graphic design remains his bread and butter, he is finding passion and purpose in producing video, both for himself and his clients. As a big advocate of mental health, he’s not only been exploring the external, but also the internal, through an ongoing series of artworks and interviews with a mental health focus. He is good with people and good with the camera, so these two are combining to create a sense of purpose, something Matthew has been looking for lately.
