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

Hi Matthew, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my business is that I have a strong vision for it. In both my personal life, and professional life, I constantly remind myself of who I am and what I’m trying to become. From this viewpoint, it’s easier to set goals and develop the habits to achieve them.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I got my degree in Brand management/Design and ended up just going into menswear. I worked for a major men’s luxury brand, and then went to work as a salesperson for the world’s largest custom clothier. My passion has always been in the creative side of mens clothing. The styling, advertising, marketing, and production of it all is what inspires me. So after working for 12 years as a salesperson in men’s clothing I decided to step out on my own and start My Dear Hill, LLC as a place where fashion brands could come and have someone help tell their story that understands who their client is. That’s why MDH exists…we tell fashion brands stories effectively.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Atlanta is a giant hodge podge of great things to do. I personally think it has best food city in the South by far. I’m a big restaurant guy so that’s where I would start. From there, there are so many great places to visit…whether it’s a concert at State Farm arena, visiting the aquarium, or hiking stone mountain, Atlanta has so much to offer.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My wife, Karlin, and my children Knox & Mabel.
