Before launching Thanks, Matt co-founded the disruptive men’s grooming brand Mr Natty, growing it into a global success stocked in more than 30 countries. His career also includes senior editorial roles: Art Editor at i-D and ELLE, Art Director at Arena and Maxim Fashion (which he launched in the US), and Creative Director of ELLE in both London and Paris. He has also consulted for Condé Nast and Hearst, and currently serves as Creative Director of Upstate Diary and luxury football style publication Associated.
He doesn’t speak Japanese. But his English is excellent — and his French and Italian aren’t bad either.
