Quirk Of The Week: Matthew Smith

Our newest Quirk of the Week is actually one of our oldest members! Matthew Smith joined the community last year when Quirky was just a lil quirkling. It’s something he’s used to, having been an early adopter of mp3 players (he has one that holds 32 MBs) and streaming video (he was one of the first 100 users of Hulu). In his time with us, Matthew has influenced more than half of all the products that Quirky’s worked on and has offered up a number of ideas for evaluation. He is a familiar figure on the forum who constantly seeks to learn from all the info and opinions he encounters there.

Matthew is involved with Quirky for all of the reasons that we love what we do here. “I am fascinated by the entire cycle of product design and hope that with the right idea – I may see one of my ideas fashioned into a useful, sustainable product one day.”

From spending his time researching the latest innovations to cycling everyday between work and home to spending time with his newlywed and their own adorable quirkling, Lily, this Idaho man is clearly no couch potato!
