What's it like working at a startup company in Los Angeles? How do you take a slow and steady approach to a busy lifestyle? How do you get more stuff done in a day?
Hello, 👋 I'm Matthew Encina. I work as a creative professional in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
In a previous life, I was a designer, animator, and a creative director working on TV commercials. Now I teach and create content at The Futur, an education startup, where I help creative professionals sharpen their skills and earn money, doing what they love. This is a typical day in my life.
