Whether through design, storytelling, mantra, or movement, Matt’s work is rooted in one mission: helping people connect—both to themselves and to their communities.

His journey began in 1998 as a self-taught web designer, exploring the digital frontier when the internet was still in its infancy. His passion for traditional art, music, and creative problem-solving led him from print shops to the world of publishing, where he refined his skills as a designer and production artist in a fast-paced creative environment. From there, Matt’s career expanded into freelance design, photography, and high-level digital marketing, working with businesses from local startups to prominent national advertising agencies.

As Matt’s professional journey flourished, his personal path was leading him deeper inward. In 2016, he became a certified yoga teacher, diving into Bhakti yoga, the devotional practice of mantra, sacred sound, and heart-centered spirituality. Today, Matt blends his creative and spiritual disciplines, leading students through soulful yoga classes, kirtan gatherings, and immersive sound experiences designed to awaken, heal, and transform.

As the founder of Guru Creative, Matt now works with yoga teachers, healers, and spiritual entrepreneurs, helping them build meaningful brands and share their gifts with the world through mindful marketing, branding, and storytelling. His work extends beyond digital strategy—he actively mentors and supports wellness practitioners in creating aligned, sustainable businesses that reflect their deeper purpose.

In addition to his creative and teaching work, Matt is:

• The author behind Project Bhakti, a platform that explores Bhakti yoga, spiritual entrepreneurship, and embodied recovery.
• A musician with the album Working Bhakti, a fusion of mantra, rhythm, and devotion, created to bring sacred sound into modern life.
• An advocate for those in recovery, integrating yoga, mindfulness, and sound healing as tools for self-discovery and transformation.

Across every discipline, Matt’s mission remains the same: to create space—whether digital, physical, or spiritual—where people can connect deeply, express authentically, and step fully into their own power.
