Hello! I'm Matt Goldstein, a graphic designer based in Boston, with over 15 years of experience in creative environments, and 7 years leading teams.
My current path has pointed me toward the sports and entertainment world, as I have been a key contributor to 2 major players in this space: Barstool Sports, and currently Jomboy Media. In between those 2 stops, my 7 years at Stran Promotional Solutions (NASDAQ: SWAG) has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including expertise in apparel design and sourcing, decoration methods, and printing processes like screen and digital printing, as well as embroidery. This experience has been particularly beneficial in my current role, where I've helped our company takeoff and grow from single-digit employees (I was Employee #5) in a shoebox office in the Bronx, to a staff of 60 in our Manhattan HQ and 2023 revenue exceeding $7,000,000.
As a freelance designer in the early days of Barstool Sports, I designed dozens of T-shirts that gained cult and viral status – I still see Boston athletes wearing apparel that I designed over 10 years ago on TV and social media.
Working in the sports industry has taught me how to perform under pressure and meet tight deadlines, whether working at Fenway Park, or executing Playoff and World Series apparel collections that go live the second the last out is recorded – I know what to expect. In addition to graphic design, I've managed E-commerce stores on platforms like Shopify and Printful, overseeing successful sales ventures totaling over $1 million in 2023.
I have been designing across various mediums for years now – from podcast logos to social graphics, brand identities, unique clothing collections, event and promo graphics, physical projects, signage, and sports T-shirts for fans. At Stran Promotional Solutions, I gained experience working with prestigious Fortune 100 and 500 clients, further refining my skills and understanding of high-pressure client needs.
I pride myself on being adaptable and versatile. I do not think there are many designers that have the breadth of skills and experience I have – So lets work together :)
