Hi! I am Mathilde Heu, a UK-based illustrator currently living in Canterbury, Kent.

I illustrate immersive experiences such as treasure hunts, nature trails and puzzle adventures. I love the challenge of fleshing out puzzle mechanisms for all levels and turning them into complex and beautiful artworks.

My Augmented Reality maps are a great fit for any private/themed events & parties as well as corporate occasions and trips. I also create custom treasure hunts and nature trails. Get in touch to discuss your project!  

I hold a MA from the Royal College of Art (2018). I also have a BA in Fine Art and in 2023 I furthered my education with a 3D Game Art Production course and a 2D character design course at Escape Studios (London).

I have worked with the National Trust, WWF Wildlife Fund, Commonwealth Secretariat, Great Gotham Challenge, Roarsome, Chetzeron, Chronyko, Sharky & George and Midnight Madness.
