Meet Alida Matos

We had the good fortune of connecting with Alida Matos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alida, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Since I was a kid I always was inclined to the creative field, and as I was growing up I took the path of interior design, later on art direction and as the need to create a social media presence I found out about content creation

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I knock on the doors of the rooms where I want to be, volunteered, attend events and just never afraid of networking! It wasn’t easy, but I enjoyed the journey!

I learned that you are your best promoter, show your work, create that portfolio, send that DM/Email.

About me, I was an introvert and had many missed opportunities because of that and one day I made a switch to let that weirdo out and speak for myself.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Miami is so full of art, design and food!
Morning at pura vida in design district, walk around and the head to Lincoln road for lunch, many options but Cheesecake Factory is the best place where you can get anything in one place. After that see what’s up in ocean drive or hit a club around Wynwood

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
my family, they always support my decision to pursue what I want in life and all the people that believe in me and help me grow
