Patrik Matheson
Patrik Matheson is Co-Founder of Bridge, a passion-driven creative studio that pushes the boundaries of both online and offline visual communication. They BRIDGE the gap between business strategy and creative execution, building impactful brands through authentic storytelling, graphic design, and web development.
A producer at heart, Patrik has been creating little businesses, experiences, and events for friends since he was eight years old. He started learning HTML and CSS in high school and by his senior year, Patrik was doing freelance work for family friends. He moved to Phoenix and quickly found an intership at Atmosol, the premier Amazon webstore builder for major brands. There he learned quality assurance, documentation and ultimately how to code very well. Patrik also interned at The Lavidge Company, where he worked on major social media accounts like the Waste Management Phoenix Open and The Phoenix Suns. He then went on to take a front end development position at Prizelogic for about a year which was his last “job,” ending in 2013.
As the co-founder of a creative agency, Patrik has learned the importance of separating himself from many parts of the business that previously fell solely on his shoulders as a freelancer. This change in mindset has allowed him to play a role that often involves being a good communicator and articulating vision to produce higher quality work than he could ever do alone.
