Hi! I am Mathilde Heu, a UK-based illustrator specialising in historical projects, immersive experiences & games!

I am particularly interested in projects rooted in history that engage, educate and communicate with an audience.

I create bespoke illustrations for historical sites, websites, publications and more! I also illustrate augmented reality maps for historic sites and tours, festivals, weddings, corporate occasions, trips, themed parties... you name it!

I have a lot of expertise in illustrating puzzles. By puzzle I don't mean the usual 'jigsaw' puzzle. Think instead of immersive experiences and games such as treasure hunts, nature trails and puzzle adventures where the goal is to find clues and uncover hidden messages. Each solution you find — often a word or a number — becomes key to either lead you to your next location, or serves as an important clue to solve your next puzzle.

Clients include: National Trust, Mr Doodle, HarperCollins, Hermès, WWF Wildlife Fund, Commonwealth Secretariat, Great Gotham Challenge, Roarsome, Chetzeron, Chronyko, Sharky & George and Midnight Madness London.

I am the AOI's meet-up host for Kent Illustrators.
