Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Nicholson is a Digital Lead and interdisciplinary designer-technologist with 11 years of experience building human-centred digital products, brands and services that prioritise social and environmental impact. He blends front-end engineering (React, Vue, 11ty/Alpine) with visual design and motion, leading end-to-end projects from rapid prototyping sprints to roadmaps that align design with business value. As co-founder of Olson and former Head of Digital at Here Design, he has helped purpose-led organisations and charities increase reach and storytelling through thoughtful UX, interaction and sustainability-focused digital strategy. Matt intentionally evaluates where AI and other technologies add value while weighing resource and climate trade-offs, treating code as an extension of his design toolkit. Comfortable in both agile and waterfall contexts, he pairs practical tooling (Figma, Adobe, Miro, Trello) with hands-on development to ship memorable, efficient experiences. An early studio founder and director, he brings a systems-thinking mindset and a track record of turning ambitious visions into pragmatic, measurable work.
