Matt Busher is a designer and art director who started making a solar-powered web server in the summer of 2020. He’s got lots of fascinating things to say about teaching yourself how to do things like that – and about finding low-tech solutions to problems rather than reaching straight for an app.
Matt's design practice is called 21-87. He works with individuals and organisations to develop visual identities, publications and spaces guided by an inquisitive, research-led approach. Recent commissions include an identity for a new artist- and maker-led online store, Inland; a delightfully surprising ecom store for Australian fashion brand Song for the Mute; and a wayfinding system for an electric vehicle startup Arrival.
Matt also collaborates with a previous guest on unfinishing, Rishi Dastidar. You can listen to the episode with Rishi here: https://anchor.fm/em-anderson/episodes/with-Rishi-Dastidar--Postcards-for-strangers-e1fmh95
If you have an unfinished or unpublished project you'd like to talk about, please contact Em Anderson via email (unfinishing.pod@gmail.com) or on Twitter: @TrueBagglerag. More details and a full list of episodes are available on my website: ecanderson.wordpress.com
