Matt Juzenas
Director of Strategic Operations
With a background in both special education and graphic design, Matt brings a unique blend of empathy, creativity, and strategic thinking to Islands of Brilliance. He weaves together these disciplines to create meaningful and engaging learning experiences for our participants…always with an eye on the big picture and a heart for the details.
Before IOB, Matt worked in corporate marketing and agency settings as a Creative Director, where he led high-performing teams by fostering trust, clarity, and a sense of belonging. That same spirit of kindness and collaboration now guides how he supports our students, families, and the IOB team behind the scenes.
A lifelong learner and process enthusiast, Matt is always exploring better ways to work, connect, and grow. He’s also a passionate advocate for mental health and believes that sharing our stories is how we build understanding and community. Outside of work, you’ll usually find him playing board games, crocheting, or cooking something delicious for the people he loves.
