About

Matt Carlisle is the founder of Big Heart Design, a user-centered design company located in Nashville, Tenn. Big Heart Design partners with non-profit organizations to help bring to life websites and online applications that are focused on such efforts as education, advocacy, benevolence, the arts, healthcare and spirituality.

Matt Carlisle is a 15-year veteran of non-profit Web development. As the former director of web ministry at United Methodist Communications, Carlisle spent five years as the executive designer, producer and editor of UMC.org, the official website of The United Methodist Church. During that time, Carlisle instituted the use of cutting edge Web applications, and directed the development and establishment of a United Methodist design system.

Carlisle is also the co-founder of M2Live — a hands-on workshop and live event designed for church leaders and volunteers interested in enhancing their ministry using the latest in Web technology. Conceived by a team of Web evangelists with a heart for the local church, M2Live is a grassroots effort allowing believers of all backgrounds to come together to celebrate Christ, while sharing and learning from one another. Driven not by the interest of event sponsors – our relaxed learning environment offers everything from hands-on workshops for beginners, to more theory-driven curriculum tailored to the needs of more seasoned participants. If you are seeking a path to grow your ministry, M2Live is the event for you.
