Building and capturing worlds.
About Me
Hey, I’m CJ Mattia, a creative producer, exhibition technologist, and media artist.
I earned both my BFA and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), where I developed a love for experimental and commercial production alike. Since then, I’ve worked across every stage of production on sets ranging from intimate indie projects to major commercial gigs for brands like Kraft and Lambda. I’ve worked in-house, taught, and even hot-seated in courtrooms. Right now, my clients include the Hammer Museum and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, where I manage technology and help translate artistic visions through the realities and limitations of physical space.
No matter the medium, my work is about finding meaning in the details, bringing ideas to life, and making the complex feel effortless. If you need a creative mind who can think both artistically and technically, I’m your person. Let’s make something great.
