Matthew Cardwell

Matthew is a 22-year-old design school drop out. Well actually, he was given a ‘forcible leave of absence’. You know - one of those remotely pleasant euphemisms universities like to label your schooling status when you can’t be bothered to attend an 8am lecture or hand in ten drawings of the same duck.
He continued to study at La Trobe University and finds journalism much more enjoyable as there is no necessity to wear a black skivvy and sip a macchiato as was the case in his previous course.

Still retaining an interest in design, he also has a penchant for politics and the media.

You can follow him on Twitter @matticulosity.

Tim says:

They should update other things in the game too.

Instead of getting a hotel when you… [read more]
