About Matt LeVeque + Regenermatic

Regenermatic is my creative outlet for exploring a career transformation that has been many years in the making.

After three decades in the start-up and corporate world, I felt a strong pull to align my work with my lifelong passion for the environment. My background in environmental studies at Shippensburg University laid the foundation, but it wasn’t until later, after years of focusing on employee experience, workplace motivation, and organizational well-being, that I began to see the fuller picture. The frameworks that guided much of my work including Self-Determination Theory, the Job Characteristics Model, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and Maslach’s Burnout Inventory are powerful, but they represent only one half of the puzzle. The other half lies in the restorative power of nature: biophilia, nature-based solutions, and regenerative practices such as the circular economy.

Regenermatic is where those halves meet. It’s the bridge between human flourishing and ecological regeneration. It’s where design, psychology, and horticulture come together to create healthier systems both for people and the planet.

I am currently completing coursework and fieldwork in Ecological Horticulture at Morris Arboretum & Gardens and participating in the Penn State Master Gardener program. These experiences, rooted in practice and community engagement, are sharpening my skills in regenerative landscaping, ecological gardening, and biophilic design.

This transition is about more than a career shift—it’s about connection. Connection between people and place, between work and well-being, between today’s choices and the future we leave behind. It’s my chance to give back to the community, to improve the lives of others in meaningful ways, and to leave the world better than I found it—for generations to come.

Why Regenermatic?

The Regenermatic logo design reflects the convergence of systems thinking, ecological awareness, and long-term human well-being.

The blue circular arrow represents the regenerative loop, inspired by David Fleming’s Lean Logic and Shaun Chamberlain’s Surviving the Future. Fleming’s vision of resilient communities and circular economies emphasized that true sustainability emerges from systems that give back as much as they take. The arrow’s continuity embodies this principle: nothing wasted, everything renewed.

The green stem and leaves grow from that circle, signifying life, growth, and connection to place. They reflect Ari Wallach’s Longpath mindset which urges us to think beyond the immediate, to imagine futures that extend far past our own lifetimes. The stem is not just growth for today, but an acknowledgment of responsibility to future generations.

The wordmark “regenermatic” ties Regenerative + Matt + Organic. to reflect my journey of bringing regenerative design into practice, informed by decades of work in employee well-being and enriched by my recent Sustainable Engineering Design certification from TU Delft. That certification emphasizes not just technical solutions, but the integration of engineering, design, and human values into sustainable systems.

Together, these elements form a logo that is both human-centered and nature-centered: a reminder that well-being is not only about thriving in our work and communities, but also about embedding ourselves in regenerative cycles that sustain life on Earth.
