Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We are posting a series of About Us  series to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

Matt Ford (not to be confused with Matt Stinchcomb), aka projectmattnyc, is a new member of the Customer Support Team here at Etsy. He also has an alter ego: support by day, DJ by night!  According to Michelle, he's kinda like Christian Slater in Pump Up the Volume, with a passion for music and a scratchy voiced savoir faire. Perhaps he'll bring those skills to bear if we ever offer phone support.

  • His Etsy username is an homage to Project Pat from Three 6 Mafia.
  • Although he maybe embarrassed by this, he has a very sensitive stomach and only eats certain things. He's been a vegetarian for 17 years.
  • He loves Dr. Dre.
  • He has gold fronts that say "Project Matt."
  • He sneezes every morning five times in a row.
  • He's really tight with Kate Moss.
  • Matt looks like he's 18 even though he's 31.

Lollapalooza 1996!

Wow, the most admin names I have ever seen in one place! This must be the unofficial ProjectMatt fan club.

I didn't think kate moss was real at first. She is so adorable!

DJ Project Matt always hooks me up with the hot tracks...I love raiding his iTunes library! (Also, it's amazing that there are links to Three 6 Mafia and Dre on Etsy! Featured sellers for the future?)
