Matthew Ramirez

Bio

Matthew Ramirez, owner and CEO of Digital Marauders, was born and raised in Ontario, California, combining his passions with business from an early age. Be it riding and working for a well-known skateboard company or starting record labels just to see his favorite music and bands succeed, he always wanted to take his passion for what he was involved in one step further. After graduating from Pitzer College he started Touch Clothing, a streetwear brand which ended up selling products internationally. With rising technological challenges on how to market the company internationally, Matt took matters into his own hands and closely studied and learned what was needed to overcome these new obstacles. He then decided to take that newly gained knowledge to start Digital Marauders, which has become an industry leader design firm.
