My story
Hi, I'm Matilda.
I trained in Fine Arts at the University of Benin before I ever touched a design tool. That background still shapes everything I do. I think in structure, composition, and intention before I think in components or code.
Today I work freelance under Matilda Designs, designing and building digital products for organisations that need things to actually work, not just look good. My clients are across the UK and Africa.
What makes me different is that I do not hand off. I design the system, then I build it. There is no gap where something gets lost in translation between a designer and a developer, because they are the same person.
