Welcome, Matt!

By danielle at 4:43 pm

Say hello to Matt, the freshest face in Quirky’s evolving design intern clan. Hailing from the Island of Long, he is one part speed (thanks to his love of racquetball), one part strategy (yep, a baseball player too), and two parts methodical creativity. There’s no doubt in our mind that he’ll fit in swimmingly here at Quirky HQ.


Name: Matt Dierkes

Hometown: Mt. Sinai, NY

School: Virginia Tech

Design Inspiration: Scott Robertson; various findings on Core77, Toxel, and Wired magazine.

Favorite Product: Wacom tablet, Casio calculator watch.

What makes him quirky: I draw with my left hand, but play sports and just about anything else righty. I also have a substantial obsession with watches and striped socks.
