Hi, I’m Matteo Broccolo, and I’m an industrial designer at ACLA Studio in Los Angeles, California.

I grew up in a multilingual household that moved around the globe. This upbringing has allowed me to experience many diverse cultures and has opened my eyes to manifold opinions, problems, and world views (it’s also a pretty cool ice breaker).

My childhood fostered a sense of curiosity that I carry with me today.

I pride myself on bringing an open-minded, empathetic, and human-centered approach to my work and my life, all with fervent, childlike curiosity.

When I’m out of class, I love experimenting with analog photography, finding new musical genres and artists, and doing anything outdoors.

Recently, I’ve been trying my hand at rug tufting, binging Malcolm Gladwell and Rick Rubin’s podcast “Broken Record”, and skateboarding on anything I can.
