Stewart specializes in working with clients to translate the power and impact of their spoken words onto the page. Whether it is ghostwriting or editing, Stewart generates the kind of characteristic copy that screams "you".

Hailing from the fair city of Dublin, Ireland, Stewart's love for travel and the challenge of a new environment led him to Boston. His wanderlust takes him to new places, near and far, at every opportunity. Sipping a coffee or a beer in a piazza during the summer with good company is his idea of heaven.

Stewart is a graduate in history from Trinity College Dublin, focusing on modern Irish history and colonial-era Africa. He confesses to being mildly obsessed with world politics.

Matt's specialty is the written word, working closely with clients to translate their vision onto the page. Whether it's creating an original manuscript or editing existing material, Matt uses his writing skills and meticulous attention to detail to produce top-notch editorial content.

Matt grew up in nearby Winthrop, Massachusetts, and attended the Roxbury Latin School in Boston. He then ventured across the river to Harvard, where he studied English and edited a humor magazine, Satire V. After a brief stint as a freelancer, he's come to the Ictus Initiative to create engaging, professional copy for his clients. When he's not at Ictus, Matt lives a simple life and can generally be found watching hockey or baseball and enjoying a beer.
