Matt Plaia is a Senior Art Director and creative strategist based in Santa Monica, where he splits his time between design, video production, and trying to convince his golden retriever, Lentil Soup, that deadlines do in fact matter as much as her walks (sometimes). His work spans collaborations across North America, Europe, and Latin America, leading brand development and marketing campaigns for a diverse clientele—from agencies to entertainment studios.
