I’m Matt Hood, and insiteful arts is my company. It's a small, artist-run boutique that prides itself on customer satisfaction and personal attention. Before founding insiteful arts, LLC in 2008, I spent nine years as a designer and graphics editor at The Washington Post. After that, I spent two years working as a webmaster and system administrator for the U.S. Department of State. Now I want to put my artistic and technical experience to work for you.

insitefularts.com is the electronic, virtual studio bringing my design solutions to your computer screen. It’s a web site that I designed and created myself. From the photoillustrations on each page to the database that’s serving up examples of my portfolio, this site is an example of the creative thinking, attention to detail and technical expertise I can bring to your project.

As this page illustrates, insiteful arts is a special combination of art and technical know-how. Please take a moment to look around. Read my (whimsical but informative) bio or request a (serious) CV. Browse my portfolio and see what past clients have had to say. And don’t hesitate to contact me with any question of comment.
