Mat (Matilde Digmann) — is an author, publisher, podcast host, illustrator, art director and all-round creative entrepreneur who has built an independent career at the intersection of art, publishing, and personal transformation.
As the creator of the graphic novel trilogy Pseudo, Eat Pray Fuck and Love is fake, Mat has successfully combined artistic practice with entrepreneurship, developing a sustainable publishing business while retaining ownership of creative work and international rights. Through an indie publishing house, Buena Gente, Mat oversees every aspect of the publishing process, from creation and production to distribution, direct sales, and audience development.
Mat is also the author of How to be an artist. – or Any Kind of Creative Being, a book exploring creativity as a way of life rather than a profession reserved for a talented few. Across books, talks, and workshops, Mat examines the relationship between creativity, identity, psychology, and meaningful work.
Drawing on years of experience navigating both the creative industries and independent business ownership, Mat speaks about resilience, intellectual property, self-leadership, and the realities of building a sustainable career without waiting for permission from gatekeepers. Topics include creative entrepreneurship, ownership, visibility, Shadow Work Podcast, and transforming uncertainty into action.
Whether speaking to artists, entrepreneurs, or business leaders, Mat brings a perspective shaped by lived experience: that creative work can be both deeply personal and economically sustainable, and that building a meaningful career begins by claiming ownership of one's own path.
