- The Complete Masterclass
In 2025, Matthew wrote and self-published How To Manufacture Overseas: Visual Secrets to Our Success — a practical guide designed for retail and hospitality designers, visual teams, and procurement professionals.
The premise is simple: the strongest teams are the ones who understand the entire end-to-end process. When teams gain insight, they gain alignment — and with alignment comes transparency, efficiency, and better outcomes.
The book was created to complement Schwam’s Masterclass, offering deeper perspective through detailed checklists, scorecards, process maps, images, and behind-the-scenes manufacturing secrets.
The approach is holistic. Every phase of development is interconnected — and understanding these dependencies is critical to ensuring a smooth, successful project from concept to completion.
