As a leading advocate for integrated pro-bono service, verynice's "give-half" model has allowed the business to provide 426 organizations with 87,271 hours of service over the past decade, a gift currently valued at over $5,367,195 (April, 2016). Matthew founded the consultancy in 2008 as an evolution of the practice he accidentally established after meeting his first pro-bono client at a skatepark when he was 16 years old. verynice's award-winning work has reached millions of people, and the team has built over 500 brands in every sector and industry across the globe. verynice's diverse service offerings challenge the standard definition of “design”, and span four core focus areas: visual communication, digital product design, design strategy, and strategic foresight.
