About Matt Hubing

My History

My interest in the web started back in 2001 when a friend introduced me to the Web Standards movement. I developed a passion for web design by voraciously reading design blogs, reverse-engineering, testing, and customizing others’ examples. Technically this makes me a self-taught web designer, but I feel like I’ve been learning from the master teachers.

In 2006 I graduated from Valparaiso University with a degree in graphic design and a minor in new media journalism. I started my career at Zahra Design Group where I worked on print and web projects for DFW real estate companies, architectural firms, economic development corporations, and a clothing start-up. In October of 2007, I created Hubing Design as a sole proprietership to take on freelance projects with my developer friends. I joined Interstate Batteries in May of 2008 where I lead the redesign of their corporate website before returning to freelancing in February of 2009. Currently I’m looking for a full-time web design position.

Other Interests

video games: I’ve been a gamer since I was five. Video games are excellent examples of interface design and user experiences. Some of my favorite games are Half-Life, Fallout, Operation Flashpoint, GoldenEye 007, and Lucasarts adventures games.

grilling: Nothing beats a nice steak or tenderloin grilled to perfection. Kuby’s in Snider Plaza is my new favorite place to get meat. I also like to grill peppers, onions, and zucchini.

HD television: My wife and I are addicted to HBO shows like The Sopranos, Rome, Entourage, John Adams, Big Love, and Flight of the Conchords.
