The core creative philosophy that brings you more than solutions.

The Creative Director of Scorpio Creative, Christian Matyi, has always been fearless and curious in his imagination. He was mentored in studios that knew it is always easier to prune an idea back than to force growth under limitations. These factors combine to make a level of insight and passion unusual for a boutique provider. Rather than just perceive his role as limited by titles and deadlines, he seeks to gain the broadest picture of a client’s needs in order to better hone in on the most essential aspects of creative services.

Yes, unicorns are real.

All too often people do not think the range of talents Christian Matyi possesses could possibly exist. he has been referred to as a “creative unicorn” on more than one occasion, simply because his range of capacities seems mythic and impossible to those stuck in a narrow perception of creative providers. Yet Christian is an “exponential learner,” and sees problems as puzzles to solve, not as obstacles which thwart. This attitude has created an ever-growing skill set that continues to broaden as new client projects come into Scorpio Creative’s studio.

An origin story that is ironically un-original.

Born in a the small, sleepy Boston suburb of Wayland, Massachusetts, Christian was always creating and curious. His love of performance, storytelling, and artistic creativity set his earliest aspirations towards animation and creative writing. Degreed at Carnegie Mellon University in Creative Writing and Cultural Theory, Christian’s talents were hard to narrow, and he was lucky enough to find apprenticeship at a small design firm that gave him incredible room to grow and experiment. As time went on he learned his love of independent employment, and ket close to small businesses because of how much more creative room their is in there creative needs.

Christian is also a podcaster, producing, writing, and starring in the podcast, The Big Inside, which takes a didactic and deconstructive storyteller’s view of familiar ideas throughout through a unique perspective. he currently still calls Boston home, and continues to be involved with small enterpreneurships and unique projects beyond his creative services, including co-owing a pedicab tour service as well as founding an educational physique sports community.

Okay, so what’s with the name?

Disclaimer: there’s no kooky astrological obsession here.

The name Scorpio Creative still throws people off. it would be great if there was some compelling and dramatic tale behind how it came to be, but the truth is a little more pragmatic.

In 1996, Scorpio Creative’s Creative Director Christian Matyi started branding projects for a few small clients. He took his storytelling chops and a lifelong history of experience in self-taught artistic design and combined it with some help and resources from other creative peers around him. Whatever creative services he couldn't provide directly to his clients he would contract in. While he was the manager of the projects and vision for these early, small clients, he needed a way to communicate that they were getting more than just one person’s talent. This was wide-range creative services contracting, and he needed a way to communicate that this entity was a little less more quirky than most creative services out there.

Christian turned his creative process onto himself to give himself a quick brand name. He needed something that implied a specific person with a deep well of talent at the core of the work, but that it was also about the creative process beyond just one individual.

All of this thinking was happening right around Christian’s birthday, which is in November. A friend said one day: “I had no idea you were a Scorpio, but now the way you work makes so much more sense to me.” With that offhand comment, Christian found his placeholder. A name that represents how he takes in the ideas from the world and pulls out something creative.

Scorpio Creative was only ever meant to be a placeholder moniker. But as the years continued, it just stuck. The meaning was apropos to the process, and it’s what his clients got used to. By the time he want fully independent in 2003 (coincidentally in the autumn, around his birthday) the name was a fixture.
