I’m Mathieu Preston, a product designer with 10 years of experience working with big and small companies. I’m based in Montréal, Québec, and love it very dearly.

As a designer with a strong technical background and a decade of experience, I thrive on hands-on work. Collaborating closely with developers and product owners is how I do my best work, ensuring efficient progress and crafting engaging experiences. My approach prioritizes finding design solutions that benefit both users and the business, driven by a deep commitment to our workflow and unwavering advocacy for the user.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked in productivity tools at Ubisoft, messaging at Zendesk (through acquisition at Smooch), and male fertility at Legacy.

In a previous life, I also produced esports tournaments and co-founded Montréal Interactive, the #1 product design community at the time.
