Find the wrong problem.
An everyday annoyance, an internet obsession, or something that absolutely didn’t need fixing. That’s usually where it starts.

Taking bad ideas
very seriously.
I’m Matty. I design and build inventions that solve problems that don’t exist.
Every one starts with an everyday inconvenience and an unreasonable amount of commitment. Some get 3D printed. Some get sewn. Some really should have stayed an idea.

2019The first bad idea
Burlington, VTDesigned & built here
How this works
A ridiculous idea.
A very real process.
Build the real thing.
3D printing, sewing, mold making, woodworking, electronics—whatever it takes to turn the idea into a working prototype.
See what happens.
The making is part of the invention. I share the process, the result, and the questionable decision that started it.
From prototype to something you can own
And then there’s MATTY.
A few ideas make it beyond the studio. MATTY is where the objects made for real life live.
