Hi! I'm Matia.

I’m a designer with experience in UX design, UI design, UX research, and SEO. I’m obsessed with improving things, and am passionate about creating experiences that make people smile.

I’ve always been fascinated by people. How we think, how we act, and how we interact. At a young age, I began writing fiction and creating my own characters to study. Human psychology is endlessly interesting to me, and I am naturally sensitive to the emotions of others.

As a creative person I gravitated toward the University of Waterloo’s Global Business and Digital Arts program. However, once we were taught the magic of UX design, I was hooked. Visual design plus empathy? Sign me up.

After I graduated, I wanted to learn more. I completed an Interaction Design graduate certificate program at Conestoga College where I further developed my UX design skills. I also had the opportunity to intern at Glen Dimplex Americas to work on the UX of their new D2C website.

I bring an analytical lens to my UX process. My experience in SEO from an internship with Rogers Media’s digital marketing team allows me to see design in a data-oriented perspective, and I combine the analytical and the creative to build impactful experiences.

Mix together a people-person, an artist, and an analyst, and you have me. 

Hit me up if you want to collaborate, or just chat!
