Introduction to Notion for Creative Projects

Frances Odera Matthews is a certified Notion consultant and the founder of The Notion Bar, an initiative focused on creating customized digital solutions and products for businesses. Originally from West Africa, Frances grew up in the UK and studied abroad in the US and Spain, exploring economics, design thinking, project management, and UX design across many different industries. Her multicultural and multidisciplinary background inspired a love for blending human experiences creatively and conceptualizing innovative solutions.

Through commissioned projects, Frances learned to take a step beyond Notion’s focus on productivity and explore its more artistic applications, creating functional yet aesthetic pages and templates in collaboration with The Notionette, aNotioneer, and many more. She has been featured as a speaker on podcasts such as Hunger Geeks, and she has also shared her knowledge with her community by leading seminars for No Code Lab and Notion’s Block by Block.
