My name is Mat

So, who am I?

When I left Music College in 2001 I went to work for my family's furniture retail business, heading up the marketing and online presence for the company. In 2008 I went to work for an IT Company doing their marketing while studying for a Web Design Qualification and CompTIA Project Management course. For those 12 years I gained valuable technical and marketing experience in the field, including Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Google Analytics, Web Design and Development experience with WordPress, Network and Internet Security and 1st and 2nd Line Support with Microsoft products.

During this time, I kept my music alive and kicking, playing in a variety of local bands, but I have always loved doing all things creative with a computer. Video Editing, Music Production, Live Streaming, it's my passion. That, and gaming - particularly Strategy and Simulation games.

So that is what I do now. I started MH Media Services in October 2020 and I now work for a variety of clients in different industries, providing Media services for their online presence. Check out each of the Services page for examples of my work, and if after that you'd like to hire me, drop me a line!

For Web, Video and Graphics, I use Adobe products for practically everything. This is because their products are not only industry standard, but are also designed to work seamlessly with each other. Which they do.

For Music Production, I use Ableton and Reason Studios. Ableton and Reason Studios gives me an incredible amount of flexibility when producing for any genre, for any requirement.

Hardware wise, I use a Nektar Panorama P6 which integrates amazingly well with both products, with M-Audio AV30s for monitoring.

To build websites, I use everyone's favourite Content Management System (CMS), WordPress. I use it because it is flexible for designers and developers, and easy to use for end users. I like to use Oxygen Builder, but I have experience with a vast range of WordPress tools.
