Hello! My name is Matthew Makrigiannis. I am a graphic designer who has big dreams to showcase my work for a top agency. I design things to stand out, and I guess you could say that about myself as well. I love vibing out to music, watching football, and making people laugh (or at least attempting to). I also have a pretty awesome cat.
