Mattie Alston
Experience Architect
Toronto
I'm an experience architect. I'm passionate about creating products and services that aren't just usable and useful, but pleasurable and meaningful. Over 16+ years I've worked agency-side for a variety of clients, defining user experience strategy and architecture for high profile brands in finance, retail, and automotive. Since 2013, I've also been deeply involved in start-up life, as head of experience at Bitposter, a small UK company aiming to change the way that outdoor media is quantified and traded. I'm now based in Toronto and looking for new opportunities.

I think a lot about the future of tech. No longer contained within a single session and on a single screen, digital products extend into hybrid digital-physical space, with multiple points of interaction hooking into many different facets of everyday life. I think we can learn a lot about this new terrain from different perspectives - learning from urban design, architecture, sociology, art theory, philosophy, scenography, and so on.

I'd love to share my insights with you, and of course to hear your thoughts on the future of digital products and services.
