Matt, principal architect of moss in Chicago, is licensed in Illinois and California, a member of the AIA and NCARB, and a LEED accredited professional with over twelve years of residential, civic, commercial, and institutional design experience. He received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Newschool of Architecture in San Diego, California. Matt is dedicated to understanding the environment and how to sustain it as a community for all living things. He regularly devotes time volunteering for several local environmental organizations, including the Foresight Design Initiative and Openlands Project as a volunteer Treekeeper. Matt has lectured on several topics ranging from sustainable design practices and alternative building materials to navigating the permitting process.

moss is committed to establishing meaningful, long-term relationships based on communication, education, trust, and mutual respect. Mutual respect is all encompassing for the client, the community, and equally important – our natural surroundings. We believe that successful design provides a solid connectivity with nature while responding to client needs, desires, and their vision of a comfortable, livable, and functional environment. This allows us to create site specific and sustainable architecture.
