Matt Koewler

Visualization Specialist

Matt plays an important role at Hafer, helping us and our clients visualize projects before they are built. He works alongside architects, engineers and designers, transforming ideas on paper into a visual reality for clients. He also has a hand in ensuring all materials going out graphically represent our firm’s creative talent and is our one-shop-stop for any other graphics needs as our very own in-house "graphics support help desk." Whether it’s technical project renderings and visuals, design award submissions, exciting marketing materials, physical printed graphics or even photoshopping our employees doing silly things—he can do it all.

Along with his affection for graphic design, Matt loves electronics, woodworking, stained glass, laser engraving and 3D printing. He’s built quite a few fascinating projects on his own – ranging from a stylish arcade system built into a briefcase, a series of scratch-built cast concrete lava lamp designs and even a mid-century leather swivel chair fit for a supervillain.

When Matt isn’t working in the office, he enjoys antiquing, collecting vintage watches (and custom building his own), playing classic video games, learning new skills and spending lots of time with family and his two beloved house cats.
