Comms that make a difference
As Executive Communication Advisor at Open, I work with internal communication, change communication (Prosci Certified Change Practitioner) and employee experience, frequently leaning into my background and experience as a designer.
Duties include communication advisory and execution, from employee pre-boarding to C-suite advisory. I've worked with themes from safety to security to sustainability, and those are just some of the 's'es. I also do creative concept development and writing, mostly for video.

In the first week it became apparent that Matthew’s style and presence would be exceptional, and he never failed to live up to that first impression. His solutions would bring an uncommon approach that not only exceeded the project requirements, but also left an indelible impression.David Cusak

Not sure if it is mind reading #superpowers? @mlequick has been able to take our ideas, and help us express them better than we imagined.NNIT Tech Talk
Matthew has an acute design sense and the ability to express abstract concepts through strong visual cues and text. His personality strengths are imagination, organization, reliability, persistence, and a strong sense of ethics. I have worked with many designers over my ten-year career in arts administration. Matthew Lequick ranks at the very top.Linden Ontjes

The version Microsoft gave me—the Zune HD—was, I have to admit, quite exceptional. It was elegantly designed. The user interface was simple, intuitive and user-friendly. I really, really liked it.Simon Sinek
