Hello, I’m Matthew Encina.
A content creator, creative director, and educator.
I’m the founder and creative director at Mod Musings, a maker and media brand. But there’s so much more to me than just a few fancy titles. Scroll down and get to know me.

Where I taught through video content, thoughtful articles, interactive workshops, and as a speaker on stage. I focused on the subjects of creativity, productivity, and communication. I also managed the content team and helped grow The Futur YouTube channel to over 1 million subscribers.
For over 15 years, I’ve worked in advertising, motion design, and branding.
As a creative director, I’ve worked with clients to make interactive experiences & content for cherished brands, tech, and video games.

Fun Facts About me
For over 17 years I was a competitive B-boy in the break dance scene. Watch me dance.
I’ve been rock climbing for 10 years, but haven’t been able to climb anything harder than a V7 boulder problem.
I’m a big kid that still likes to play video games. You’ll mostly find me on my Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in the evenings.
