Ornament Memories
Matt Johnson

“My favorite ornament has to be the Keepsake Santa Signal ornament from 2013. It’s one of the first ornaments I designed from start to finish. When you press the front button, the lantern plays a song, lights up and becomes a signal ornament on your tree, showing Santa the way to your home.

My son, Miles, was almost 3 that Christmas, and he was in love with trains. The ornament plays a train-themed song and has train-themed illustrations I created for the front. It was featured in TV commercials with Santa Claus, so it was just very magical for our family. When we placed it on our tree that year, and every year since, we knew Santa would be stopping by.

At this year’s KOC convention in Kansas City, I signed some more Santa Signals. All of those memories flooded back to me of beginning my career in Keepsakes and sharing the magic of our ornaments. It’s great to know there are Santa Signals on people’s trees all over the country and to see how powerfully the memories live on in Keepsakes. I love hearing what our collectors collect and what got them hooked!”

Excerpted from Winter 2019 For Keeps, “Ornament Memories, Matt Johnson.”

New Keepsake Studio Contributing Artist

Matt has designed for companies all over the United States, but his appreciation of toys has stuck with him since childhood. Toys play an especially important role in Christmas, a holiday that gives Matt the inspiration he needs when it comes to crafting tree-worthy trimmings in the Keepsake Studio. He admits “there’s just so many people around here that make it feel like Christmas all the time!”

Mat Johnson
Contributing Artist, Product Designer

Matt graduated with an Industrial Design degree from the University of Kansas, and continues to be a student of product design as he follows his passion for toys and games. As someone who appreciates fun, creative and offbeat entertainment for kids, the Keepsake Studio was just the place for Matt to work, but an opening wasn’t so easy to come by. After a few years of working in the Midwest and along the East Coast, Matt made the move to KC with his family-and, as luck would have it, an opening in Keepsakes was waiting for him.

The work of a Keepsakes designer is a challenge, but Matt is happy to see his designs inspire wonder for kids and kids at heart. Hobbies at home continue to challenge Matt creatively. As he puts it, “I try to keep up with my drawing—and my two-year-old.”
