About Us
Design Over Matter, LLC was founded in 2018 by Michael-Phillip Harte, a Santa Barbara, Ca. resident. With initial prospects of developing a foothold in the restaurant and hospitality graphic design needs, an area Harte is extremely well versed in, having served as Managing Editor of his college newspaper for two years, coupled with years of additional photography and graphic design training in several states across the country. Most recently, Harte has been personally creating design and copy for all advertising, design projects as well as FDA compliant nutritional labeling system design at a mid-size multi-unit California restaurant and bakery for 5+ years.
