Hello, I’m Matthew Encina.
A creative director, content creator, and educator.
At Mod Musings, I design physical products and document their stories. As Chief Design Officer at Mode, I shape the product and brand vision. But there’s so much more to me than just a few fancy titles. Scroll down and get to know me.
Previously, I served as the Chief Content Officer at The Futur, A design education company.
I built learning experiences through video, writing, workshops, and speaking. My focus: creativity, productivity, and communication. Leading the content team, I helped scale The Futur's YouTube channel past 1 million subscribers.
I've spent over 20 years creating work in design, advertising, and branding.
As a creative director, I've partnered with clients to build interactive experiences and content for established brands, technology companies, and video game studios.
My YouTube channel has generated 43 million views and continues to grow.
The content shows how I see the world as a designer. I document building the Mode brand, designing and collaborating on physical products, and the spaces I design and build by hand.

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 who still likes to play video games. You’ll mostly find me on my Xbox in the evenings.

I prefer coffee with chocolate or toffee notes, but can appreciate a good single origin with hints of fruit.
