Kate Matesic





I write about snapshots of real life, through the lens of access, grief, disability, nostalgia, and everyday joy. 

I graduated from Sheridan College in 2021 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Interaction Design.

My writing has appeared in Knee Brace Press, Canvas Literary Journal, UX Magazine, and the My Body, My Story zine.

 

Some of my writing:







1. My Body, 
My Story


    Contributor, Sick Stories, 2023
    This zine is the resulting work of 12 participants from My Body, My Story, a four-week online workshop delivered in August 2023 and funded by ArtReach and the Toronto Arts Council.

    Getting through the user research phase of a design project can seem daunting, but in reality it’s just the beginning.

    4. Zine-Making Pandemic Lives



    Coming soon!

    I was part of a project called "Disabled Feminists and Digital Storytelling: Zine-Making Pandemic Lives," funded by the SSHRC Insight Development Grant research project. I made a zine about finding community during the early pandemic in 2020.
