Better Know an LF'er: Matthew Hlavinka

"Don't let Matthew's quietness fool you, it must be osmosis from Bill and Rand. His sharp eye for detail and strong graphic sensibility are equally balanced by his smart questions and wonderful attitude. I also love his last name, just say it: Hlavinka!" - Vicki Yuan
"Taking cues from James Bond, Hlavinka prefers his martinis shaken, not stirred. He only speaks when it's necessary (unfortunately, not with an English accent). His perfectly manicured beard rivals that of Ron Swanson's moustache. He wears refreshingly distinguishable attire (a splash of color in a room full of architects can be dangerous). And when he's not saving the world from sudden destruction, he renders beautiful plans for our upcoming book. Although he clearly missed his calling as a model (look at that Blue Steel!), this guy has some serious talent. Check out his other mad skills here."
