Mathilde
I built my first website at 14 — a Harry Potter fansite, since you asked. Within a year, people were commissioning me to build theirs.
That was 2001. I’ve been doing it since.
In between: a master’s in medieval history, several years in partner and channel management for a large enterprise tech company, and founding and running a product-based business of my own. That combination means I understand business from both sides — the strategic and the day-to-day — not just the build.
I went full-time on web design and development in 2017.
The philosophy has always been the same: your website should feel like meeting you, and it should be entirely your own. Built well enough that when someone reaches out, the conversation doesn’t start from zero — the trust is already there.
That’s also why the process is guided, not handed over cold. Every project moves through the same arc — clarity, identity, presence — because skipping ahead rarely holds up, and I’d rather walk you through the thinking than leave you to guess at it.
What that gets you: a site that’s genuinely yours when I’m done — not something you’re quietly dependent on me to touch. I’ve built my own business from nothing; I know what it means to actually own what you’ve made.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s talk.

Read the full testimonial from Kristin SteeleI’ve had the pleasure of working with Mathilde for more than a decade, and she is one of those rare partners who brings together great design and a deep understanding of how a website actually needs to perform. ... She never approaches a website as simply a design project. She considers the full picture, from user experience and functionality to SEO, AEO and the technical details that can have a real impact on visibility and performance.
