About Me

Hi.

I'm a graphic designer, art director, writer, marketer and photographer who started in the food business 17 years ago. I love combining food and the creative process and launched my blog 2 years ago as my personal outlet for all the things that didn't fit into the day job. And because of my career, my blog focuses on photography and design.

So what will you find here? A little bit of this and that. I love food and its ability to bring people together –– be it a restaurant, a shared meal or a glimpse behind the scenes.

On occasion I'll review or discuss something that has been submitted to me, but you can count on complete transparency and disclosure. I'll always let you know when something has been submitted for review.

Mattbites has been featured online and in print in a variety of publications, and I recently taught a seminar on food blogging and food photography in New York. I recently launched my photography site too, check it out and let me know what you think: Matt Armendariz.com.

I live in Los Angeles but I'm usually all over the place. Thanks for reading!
