ABOUT Matthew Barnes
Matthew Barnes, founder of Proteus Digital Lab,
My goals in life are simple: Help others achieve their vision, live responsibly, and travel often to expand perspective.
During my pursuit of a masters degree in Engineering, I found myself lost—separated from the "da Vinci" style problem solving that fueled me. It was then that I decided to take the leap to a full-time position as Creative Director at Know Obstacles Apparel.
As Creative Director, I had the opportunity to guide the creative vision of the company, developing a strong brand identity within the growing market. I led numerous campaigns and was intimately involved in the development and launch of each new product collection.
I am a hardworking problem-solver with a fervent personality and unquenchable thirst for adventure.
I find balance through my artistic passions and love for extreme sports.
now run an agency that. Uh, consulting with CEOs of direct to consumer e-commerce brands, and we do analytics and, uh, conversion optimizations heavy in statistics and development.
