Matt Yigit Profile Photo

Artist / Founder

Matt Yigit is a glass mosaic artist and the Founder of Tiles Workshop, a multi-state experiential art company rooted in culture, craftsmanship, and connection.

What began as a personal artistic journey working with traditional Turkish mosaic techniques has grown into a movement centered on immersive, story-driven workshops across the United States. Through Tiles Workshop, Matt designs experiences where participants do more than create mosaic lamps. They gather around shared tables, engage with cultural storytelling, and leave with something both beautiful and deeply personal.

His work sits at the intersection of art and intentional experience design. As the company has expanded across states, Matt has navigated the tension between scale and authenticity, building systems that allow creativity to grow without losing its human core.

Matt is passionate about helping creatives think beyond the product and focus on the moment, the memory, and the meaning behind what they build. His journey reflects an ongoing process of becoming: from artist to founder, from maker to community builder, and from local workshop host to multi-state experience designer.
