My name is Mathilda and I am a French and Italian graphic designer and illustrator, currently based in London doing an MA in Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins.
I use my practice as a way to look closer for longer, to portray how I see small portions of the world and to bring people together through creative exchanges and visual collaborations.
I have recently been focusing on exploring remote, unknown and invisible spaces, how people circulate through them, the traces this flow of movement leaves behind and how that transforms the spaces that surround us. I investigate these ideas by using a method of observing, collecting, deconstructing, visualizing, questioning and challenging.
I am also the co-director and designer at on the mend, a creative studio erasing healthcare inequalities through workshops and health awareness campaigns.
