Hello. I'm Matthew Encina. I'm the Chief Content Officer at The Futur and a Creative Director at Blind. I’m a Filipino-American. Born and raised in LA. I studied Graphic Design at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. I've been a creative professional for over 15 years directing, designing, and animating for some pretty awesome clients.

I love to rock climb, break dance, train in combat sports, play video games, drink coffee, and nerd out on video games and comic books.

To make your life easier, all Dell monitors allow you to create shortcut buttons on the monitor itself, so you can create button shortcuts to allow you to switch inputs at a push of a button rather than scrolling through menus. You can also download “dell display manager” where you can use computer software to easily control the brightness and other settings of the screen without navigating though settings.

Probably my favorite setup video I’ve seen, such a nice work space .

[lupegonzales]

Due to the current status of our nation's pandemic, for the last three weeks, I have reluctantly been spending a large part of my productive day in my office. I run 2 small businesses within my home but, up till now, little time within the confines of my home office. I realized after watching your video that I dreaded my office because it is in dire need of a facelift. I am starting tomrrow! Thank you Matthew. Keep up the good work. Perhaps you might do a video on increased shut-in time....just suggesting. :)

[gnowkvn]

[YEP__]

One of the most relaxing videos I’ve ever watched

[djstarsign]

You hit a hone run with this video. Great storytelling, authentic, approachable, relatable, and beautifully executed. I’m assuming you’re also going to get a lot more visibility to your work. I subbed. This is what I like to see on YouTube. Well done sir.

[СтефанСтанковић-ут]

I love how clean & simple it is.

I would personally add a drink fridge & maybe a fan but thats just me.

[olifye]

The amount of creativity, dedication and aesthetic put into this office made this video much more relaxing and pleasing to watch. I aspire to have an office like this one day fantastic job❗️

[HeadsetAdvisor]

Inspirational and aspirational video. Thank you! For all those who work from home but still need to make/answer phone calls then don't forget to get a nice headset with your set up!

[chauphammatser]

I'm inspired by so many things in this video. But the one that hits me the most...CORDS!!!

[toolfinderhq]

This is just the best! Fingers crossed I'm moving to a new house - where I will be stealing many of your concepts here.
