Matt Strmiska

Howdy! I’m a designer and musician based in Austin, Texas.
Check out some of my work below and get in touch.
A seasoned product designer and leader with a visual background, I’ve worked in design for more than 15 years. My experience spans several industries and Fortune 500 companies.

In recent years my focus has shifted more toward design systems, and I’ve helped organizations build, adopt, and govern their design systems while optimizing design and engineering workflows.

"Infectious grooves, infectious grooves!"
—Paul Shaffer on my drumming for Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears' Scandalous

Born into a musical family with a rich Czech heritage, I grew up in dancehalls across Texas playing drums longer than I can remember. I’ve performed on TV and festival stages across the world, and have made music with a lot of wonderful people.

Technical and detailed by nature, I also work as a mixing engineer, doing my best to preserve the energy and emotion that makes music so special.
