ABOUT

Ever since its inception in 2011 by industry veterans, Dot Matrix has been deeply rooted in brand experience and customer service. No matter what your design and marketing needs are, our broad range of capabilities means a multidisciplinary approach that will ensure your brand stays current in an ever-evolving world. Here are the people who will help make it happen.

BRIAN DEMEDUK

A co-founder of Dot Matrix, Brian has 26 years of experience in package design, branding, POP, B2B, marketing and social media. He has designed branded products and packaging in the food, housewares, electronics, hardware, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and automotive industries, which has given him the experience to successfully build a brand from the ground up. His résumé includes fortune 500 companies such as Bayer, Pfizer, JVC, Kenwood and Unilever, and he has many challenger brands such as Oogie's Snacks and You Love Fruit under his belt. His greatest joy is seeing clients' faces light up when they see their dream come to life. Brian loves the quiet mountains of northern New Jersey, can be found fishing or sipping Patrón Silver and is an avid dart player.

NADEEM ZAIDI

A co-founder of Dot Matrix, Nadeem has close to 30 years of experience in branding, publishing, web marketing and package design. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology, he worked his way up to become design director for several agencies in New York before starting his own design firm in the Flatiron district of Manhattan. There, he launched campaigns for the New York Knicks, Madison Square Garden, Hasbro, SiriusXM and Disney. Since joining forces with Brian Demeduk, Nadeem has worked closely with the rest of the team at Dot Matrix to create dynamic visual solutions. As a firm believer in combining the power of a strong concept with an unexpected execution, Nadeem challenges himself to explore this methodology with every project. Nadeem lives in the suburbs of southern New Jersey with his wife and two children. For him, tennis is a favorite pastime (that his wife thinks borders on an addiction)!

Fun Facts: Jessica has not cooked dinner since long before her delightful kids were born, but she loves to watch her husband create the family meal. However, she’ll throw down a mean egg white breakfast quesadilla while listening to her favorite 90’s music or NPR podcast!
