Matt Farrell

Project Manager

Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Matt received his higher education at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where he earned a B.S. in software engineering and an M.B.A. with a concentration in Marketing.

Matt worked for Rockwell Automation and Rockwell Software in various software engineering and product marketing roles. During this time, Matt also pursued private business interests and acted as a consultant for designRoom, coming aboard in a more active role in 2001.
Matt is especially valuable as Project Manager, tracking all the components of branding and marketing projects. He helps the branding team from the beginning of a project through to its completion. Additionally, he’s our liaison with IT and Legal, and moonlights as our HR department. Give him a problem. He’ll solve it. Which is useful in his role as a member of the Perry Local Schools Board of Education.

Matt makes it a point to include a little fun in his time in the office… he’s the one that managed to put up the five nerf basketball hoops (4 small and one main court in the great room) around the office. Or maybe it’s because he’s like 6’4″ and likes to dunk.

Project Manager

“I trust them with my brand. I trust them with my marketing business. They will not steer you wrong. They will ensure everything is on point moving forward.”

"Our client base increased. Our staff base increased. Our reputation and notoriety in the industry increased. The branding has lifted us up to be very confident.”

“We trust them as true professionals who really understand the process that’s required to do things right.”

“They really bring in the heart behind the message. They tell the story in ways that are compelling. They’re really creative and that matters.”

“…we really felt that they understood what we wanted to accomplish. They listened to us instead of puking their process on us.”

“Loved the process – we got so much more than a new logo; helped us unite around a common mission and language.”

“This input helped us work better together as a team. The whole brand refresh process was a wonderful team building opportunity.”

“We never had the production value in terms of the presentation/signage – the quality was new and impressive and people really embraced it.”

“Take the time to let designRoom get to know you. It is amazing that they get to the core of who you are…”

“They became much more like partners deeply embedded inside our business.”
