Nesta is a research and innovation foundation. We apply our deep expertise in applied methods to design, test and scale solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time, working across the innovation lifecycle.
Designer, healthy life mission
Mathilde was a designer for the healthy life mission.
Mathilde joined Nesta in 2022 as a designer for the People Powered Results team, where she developed new collaborative design methodologies to inform the creation of place-based strategies.
Mathilde has a MA in Sustainable Design from the University of Brighton, where she explored how design can help rebalance discourses to involve underrepresented communities and foster more equal futures. She believes design impacts our everyday lives in multiple ways, through sharing stories, shaping behaviours, creating interactions and so much more. Designers have a responsibility to develop more responsible, participatory and ethical design practices.
Before joining Nesta, Mathilde worked at Policy Lab on developing new research methodologies to bring a more innovative and human-centred approach to policymaking.
Outside of work, Mathilde can often be found on one of numerous East London's climbing walls or fixing bikes at her local community workshop.
We extend our impact through two specialised units that help people and organisations to solve complex problems and achieve their goals.
BIT helps clients from government, nonprofits and the private sector to improve people’s lives through our empirical problem solving and deep understanding of human behaviour.
Challenge Works designs and runs challenge prizes to spark innovation in science, technology and society.
