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.
