SELECTED WORK

OOOH.TV

social media and creator platform

Senior Product Designer · 2022

I owned host discovery, game cards, creator web, sharing, community loops and Oooh’s first shared consumer Figma design system. We launched globally out of beta in 2022 to 10,000 creators, who signed up through our creator site. I consolidated 100+ Figma files and placed three guided starter games and cards capped at a 12-character title and 39-character premise ahead of the catalog. I designed that flow to get new hosts to their first round faster, and it shipped after I handed it off.

ETERNITY.BOT

A personal agent for making connections

Founding Staff Product Designer · 2023–24

I designed the Eternity.bot mobile app, brand identity, 30+ animated mascot states and tap-to-answer onboarding from 0 to 1. Instead of making people browse cold profile directories, users gave their personal AI agent a goal and inspected matches through a 3D connection graph. User testing showed people took too long to reach the chat. Once I turned the mascot button into a plain chat bubble and made the LinkedIn import optional, they reached their agent sooner. The trade-off was thinner AI context for their clone.

MEMORYFIELD

Project memory for AI tools

AI/ML Systems, Systems Architect · 2026

I built Memoryfield so AI coding and design agents can pick up a project without losing context. In a 101-file workspace it cut prompt context from 145,119 to 48,534 estimated tokens (66.56%) and recompiles its dependency graph locally in 2.88ms p50. In an eight-worker test with a shared lock, writers lost 0 of 200 updates.

THE SAAS EXPERIENCE

Memoryfield workspace

I designed the workspace to show what the next session carries, where it came from and which checks support it.

Less context to carry I compiled one 101-file workspace from 145,119 estimated prompt tokens to 48,534 (20.09ms cold), and re-linking one changed file took 2.88ms at the median. Across a 20-repo fleet, the same compiler cut carried context by 63.50%. Tokens estimated as characters divided by four (receipts 58b0499d, 979cce2b, 6f40789f). `Receipt 58b0499d`

TRIPLETAP

music rhythm f2p arcade game

Creator, Gameplay Programming · 2026

I designed, illustrated and programmed Tripletap in C# at JOYHYPE. Moving between lanes fires the color in your hand, so I replaced traditional combo streaks with cross-lane sweeps and beat-synced flow cascades.

IN THEIR WORDS

1/3

He speaks engineer, but can also drive implementation when needed. Matt is a lifelong and voracious learner, and he was always working to spread his knowledge; he started a book study group, and continually contributed to research projects and discussions -- all of these were above and beyond the expectations of his role.

Charlie HelmanTechnical PM at Oooh

Matt is extremely passionate about his work, and consistently delivers at a high-quality. My last project with him was an ambitious feature which integrated some ML functionality which can sometimes be a challenge to design for, and the designs he produced were a source of excitement on the work for the feature.

Mason MacklemHead of ML/AI at Oooh

At Chomp, Matt became the first designer I saw use new tools to consistently deliver high-quality work. He handled everything from user flows and finished screens to interactive prototypes and working code, often independently. What stood out most was his judgment: he knew how to use these resources to explore ideas and move faster, always keeping the end user in mind.

ABOUT

I’m Matt Stenquist, a Product Design Engineer and former professional snowboarder. I started coding at nine, shipped modded hardware and games by 16, and turned pro by 22. A few broken bones and a gold tooth later, I design and code consumer apps, Figma component systems, and AI developer tools from scratch.

Outside of AI tools, I teach design systems and design engineering, write on game dev, tech, and the things in between.
