Mathilda is a French/Italian graphic designer and illustrator. She co-founded
On The Mend, a design studio that targets healthcare inequalities by tailoring medical information to different communities. She also founded Conversations From Calais, a project documenting conversations between volunteers and migrants in Calais and pasting them on our cities’ walls.
She uses her practice to look closer for longer, to bring people together through creative exchanges and to place marginalised voices at the centre of our stories.
