“TO YOU FROM FAILING HANDS WE THROW THE TORCH; BE YOURS TO
HOLD IT HIGH.”
– John McCrae
Hey! My name is Matt Abolafia, raised right here on the sunny west coast of Florida. Art has been a huge part of my life since as long as I can remember.
I started out in fine arts but realized well into grade school that design was my true calling. I enjoy the problem-solving that comes with design, where having a strong message is just as important as the visual appeal.
I have developed a strong skill set in not only graphic design skills, but an adeptness for UI/UX design, and a passion for app and web development and designing for technology as a whole. I hope to be a part of the next generation of design thinking and am optimistic for a bright future within it.
I am forever grateful to have been a part of such an amazing and talented Ringling community, and through all the projects, recognitions, and incredible peers here, moving forward is bittersweet. When I’m not designing you can find me traveling, getting out and active, or watching my favorite sports teams.
