Matthew Dandurand’s Summary

CEO, Creative Director, Information Architect and Usability Expert

I love my work, my work environment and the Media Contour team that bring it all together.

I'm passionate about surrounding myself with people who love what they do and strive to become better and better each day. I am naturally driven to success and do my best to empower those around me to succeed as well. I am one of the driving forces behind Media Contour and utilize my strong analytical and systems-oriented thinking to bring greater efficiency to both the workplace and the websites Media Contour develops.

I am just as passionate about building relationships as I am about creating the best customer experiences imaginable. I enjoy listening to the success stories of the many business owners I meet. My personal goal is to guide each client through the web design process, and ultimately to make the process of purchasing web design and programming as seamless and painless a process as possible. I work on improving a client's experience each and every time. At the same time, my business goal is to ensure that every web site we create has the necessary components to catapult the respective business into a leadership position within their industry.

My education background is in psychology, sociology, multimedia and design. I was a licensed stock broker for a while until I realized that my call was in the creative industry. I pride myself in my ability to think both analytically and creatively.

In an effort to further increase my knowledge and improve my business skills for both Media Contour and my clients, I am currently embarking on the path to an MBA.
