MATTHEW AUSTIN
Artist and Designer
I am an American artist currently living and working in Estonia. Since a young age, I have always been interested in art. I will paint on anything I can find, but my main interest is designing and painting on shoes. It is the intersection between fashion and art. Some people like to wear them and some people put them on the shelf, but everyone lights up when they get their own pair of custom shoes!
​
In recent years I have been designing games. My favorite is genre card games, like the ones I have been playing for years! I find it fascinating to bring a project to life, from concept and prototyping to print and production.

When I am not making art, you can find me at my day job, managing a multi-disciplinary international team in the field of circular economy and sustainability.
