Neuage.design
Hello there! My name is Austin Mateka, and I’m the founder and creative director of Neuage Design. My journey as a graphic designer has led me to do more meaningful work for people and communities.
For the past 8 years, I’ve gathered creative experience from an array of projects in a variety of industries. I support initiatives that I care about, especially mental health organizations. Now, I see value in my ability to blend what I've learned through the lens of collective health. This is the singular idea that Neuage was born from—to give back through design.
The most effective approach to design is one that considers both the problem and the solution simultaneously. I’m equipped to take all moving parts of a goal into consideration, leading to an intuitive whole that is greater than the sum of its components.

I want to fully understand what you’re looking to achieve. We’ll discuss your challenges, goals, and clearly define what we are trying to solve together.
I’ll gather our thoughts to create a project outline, and compare it to our initial conversation to ensure alignment. Processes and timelines will then be organized in a way that’s most efficient.
We’ll review the plan to make sure each step has a clear purpose and direction. We’ll re-evaluate, asking: does our course of action address the core problem and lead us to the most effective solution?
Research, research, research. I’ll take a deep dive into your company, its history, the industry, trends to follow or avoid, what your competitors are doing, and upcoming technologies.
Now, I’ll step back to let the findings lead me in all possible directions. This is the time for mindful thinking to unearth the roots of the problem and begin working towards a solution.
Action! From concepts to presentations and roughs, we will explore everything, and constantly reiterate our ideas to make sure we’re on pace to achieve your goals.
From the rough work, we will need to make an important decision: identify the best approach and expunge everything else. A complex series of parts will be distilled into a clear idea.
Now it’s time to launch and let our work out into the world. It will be packaged, sent off to print, or will go live online for people to view and react to. Of course, the work is not done here.
How do we know we’ve been successful? What is or isn’t resonating with your audience? Perfection is always within reach—we'll identify areas of improvement for future projects.
