Matt Wilkinson

Art Director & Pokerfaced Perfectionist

Growing up, this Art Director idolised some guy called Martin, who had a kick-ass motorbike. Boys and their toys, sigh! Matt left his need for speed behind and headed to Westerford High School. He then set his sights on UCT where he studied a BA and to top it off, he spent 2 years at City Varsity where he got his diploma in Multimedia Design and Production while exploring his interest in branding and design.

Before joining Quirk, Matt worked as an interactive designer at Bottomline Interactive where he gained experience in front end Web Design, flash interfaces creation as well as print and identity work. You can check out some of his awesome work on this website, mattwilkinson.net.

Matt’s nicknames are Picchu (as in Machu) and Bad View (don’t ask) and if he could change one thing in the world – he would eradicate the need for passports. Another animal lover, Matt’s rumoured to be a bit of a dog whisperer – perhaps he can train the somewhat un-trainable Weed.

He is both honest and impatient but even Gaga couldn’t read this perfectionist’s pokerface. Matt enjoys all the typical Cape Town classics – braais, beers, surfing and sleeping.
