Matt Broughton – Illustrator, Graphic Artist and Designer

Melbourne studio, working with clients everywhere.

Creative Services & Capabilities

Bridging the gap between analogue roots and digital craft. With over 25 years of industry experience, my career didn’t start with the click of a mouse; it began in the days of manual graphic reproduction, learning the discipline of commercial art through a traditional signwriting apprenticeship. After formalising my studies in graphic art and design at art college, I spent 12 years working in-house across ad agencies, apparel brands, and creative design teams before establishing my independent studio in 2009. That tactile heritage and workshop floor grounding still inform my practice today as a professional illustrator and graphic artist.

Today, I operate as a dedicated, off-site art department for brands, publishers, and agencies worldwide. I combine traditional artisan craftsmanship with digital tools to solve complex visual challenges, transforming big ideas into original visual communications, seamless textile patterns, and flawless, production-ready vector files. By blending heritage graphic art techniques—like custom linocuts and ink drawing—with design software, I create human-centred design that elevates your message, engages your audience, and truly connects.
