Q&A with Matt
What has been your biggest accomplishment?
One of my biggest accomplishments so far at KWSM has been being promoted to Web Designer. In my time here, I have learned so much more about developing and designing websites and continue to grow each day. Working with such a strong team, I look forward to the opportunity to continue to learn and grow.
What is the best part of working at KWSM?
Aside from the amazing team, my favorite part is the work/life balance. Having every other Friday off has given me the opportunity to travel more during the long weekends.
Where do you see yourself headed in the future?
With the opportunities for growth in the agency, I see myself continuing to improve my design and development skills and in time, earning the title of Senior Web Designer.
