Matthias Tratz
Researcher, Designer
I help you build digital products. I enjoy to find innovative solutions in the intersections of design and data.
Design is shaped by cultural, societal and narrative patterns. And in reverse design impacts our lives.
Let’s make things better. 
My expertise is to
align strategic goals with design
I studied design as well as communication science in Austria and France. My focus is to create purposeful design solutions, which help users. Thereby I have a passion for applying research methods to gain a deeper understanding.
Over time my work was awarded with various prizes and recognitions, including the Austrian State Prize, and has been published in Typodarium and Laurence King.
I also write and research about design and data science, and held lectures at the FH Salzburg and the Kunstuniversität Linz.
