Team

Matt Heide -
Chief Renaissance Officer

I am the mind behind the company and at one point I have filled every role at Concrete Cat. As our company has grown and evolved I have needed to focus my energy to the helm of this ship to keep us on course in our vision and culture. I have a broad and diverse background across many industries, trades, educational vocations and artistic disciplines. My current role is to focus and guide Concrete Cat’s team, scout for new talent and connect the dots from our past to our future.

SUSTAINABILITY – “I want to leave the world better than when I found it. When I design something I try to embody Thomas Jefferson’s design principal of designing for seven generation after you.”

Shawna Heide - VP of Marketing

She is our resident graphic design and marketing expert, and my beautiful wife and business partner. She has 12 + years experience in marketing with a strong focus on design, creative direction, and strategy. She is extremely good at communicating why design is fundamental to a marketing strategy which makes her a huge asset not only in all of our design and strategy initiatives but also in building client relationships.

Shawna is building her career portfolio in indoor and outdoor spatial experience design as well.

AUTHENTICITY – “Recognizing authenticity may take an instant. However the layering of character it takes to create something authentic takes time. Materials that age well are crucial to inspire the visual awe that we all crave.”

Christopher Ryzebol - Polyartist

Chris is an extremely talented  artist and an asset as a contributor to our teams creativity. His skills in virtual design give us the ability to see a full mock up of complicated projects in a virtual three dimensional setting before we ever need to touch forms or concrete. He is a creative visionary and quite progressive with his designs and aesthetic. I try and surround myself with people who are better than I am, once I saw Chris’s art I had to have him join the team.

CREATIVITY – “Creativity to me is the spirit of invention. A passion for creating things that people didn’t know they needed or desired.”
