I make careful things: plans, systems, and the occasional pot.

I'm Matt. I help small businesses run smoother through project management and practical IT, and I teach people to make things from clay. Two crafts, one habit: doing the work properly and seeing it through.

01 / The desk

Keeping projects, and the tech, on the rails.

Since 2015 I've helped small teams deliver work without the chaos. I map the path, herd the moving parts, and quietly fix the technology that's slowing everyone down. Most recently I was Project Manager of the Australian Ceramics Triennale.

Project management
Scoping, planning and steady delivery for work that's outgrown a spreadsheet and a hope.
IT consulting for small business
Practical technology decisions: systems, migrations, and the unglamorous fixes that actually matter.
Process & tools review
A clear-eyed look at how your team works, and the small changes that pay off fastest.
Discuss a project

The through-line

Whether it's a project plan or a porcelain bowl, the work is the same: pay attention, take your time, finish it properly.

02 / The wheel

The quiet craft of clay, taught at a human pace.

Since 2021 I've been at the wheel evenings and weekends. I run small classes and workshops for beginners and returning makers, and I help new studios find their feet. I'm also President of the Belmont Potters Group and the Ceramic Arts Association of WA.

Classes & workshops
Wheel-throwing and hand-building in small groups: relaxed, unhurried, no experience needed.
Studio consulting
Setting up a community or home studio? I'll help with kilns, layout, safety and the practical stuff.
Private & group sessions
One-off workshops for teams, gifts and special occasions, booked to suit your group.
