J. Matthew Naylor is a designer, entrepreneur, author, and musician based in Palm Springs, California, with deep roots in Puerto Rico. His life's work spans the built environment, the written word, the music stage, and the coffee farm, each project a reflection of who he is and what he believes.
Through Architectural Blue, Matthew designs and builds thoughtfully crafted outdoor living spaces, from concept to completion, every project built with precision and an eye for beauty. His Aqua Consultation practice brings expert guidance to residential and commercial swimming pool projects, from layout and water features to materials and finishes.
On his farm in Puerto Rico, he cultivates shade-grown, single-origin coffee under the name Café Don Mateo, every bag carrying the story of the land and the people behind it.
Off the Street is Matthew's deeply personal book and musical, born from years of walking alongside the invisible people on our streets. It is a work of compassion, honesty, and the refusal to look away.
As a composer and performer, Matthew creates original music shaped by reflection, experience, and connection. He performs live and speaks at events on topics of compassion, creativity, and purpose.
