About Me | Frances Odera Matthews

Creating cultures of intention with beautiful & bespoke Notion systems that make you go 'aaah' when you log in.

Hi, I'm Frances Odera Matthews, Founder of The Notion Bar & Certified Notion Consultant/Template Designer working remotely from London, UK.

As a top Notion Expert, my services have helped 150+ client innovators & dreamers like you tap into their ‘Big Notion Energy’. I’ve also helped 1000s more with my course, newsletter, workshops & resources.

As a seasoned design-thinker with project management experience across creative & logistic industries, I have a rich understanding of the fundamentals teams/people need to do their best 'werk'.

Together, we'll reclaim hours of your life by streamlining your siloed workstreams. Let's revolutionise your agency, coaching practice, mission-led brand/startup, or VC firm by breathing life into your dull processes, spreadsheets, and documents - transforming them into inspiring virtual ecosystems.

More importantly, we'll craft a system that 'tells the story of your work' - see the information you need to see, when you need to see it and where you need to see it.

If you're ready to break up with burnout & and explore the freedom of a connected digital sanctuary, let's chat.

By definition, I am a true third culture kid, after being from a bunch of different countries and also lived/studied/worked in a bunch of countries.

On top of that, I’m a culture & design obsessed '96 baby who's not quite Gen-Z, not quite millennial (shout out to my zillennials)

So basically, I am one giant mash-up. I explore and celebrate all my different cultural influences through music, design, travel and food

If money was no issue, I would 100% spend my days learning to DJ and becoming a polyglot (pretty strong in Spanish and a baby French/Portuguese speaker!)

Learning to DJ is actually high on my personal development/dream life list (tracked in Notion, of course). Big headphones + big curly hair? 👌🏾 

My music go-tos are 90s - 2000s R&B, afrobeats, reggaeton and 70s-80s soul/disco.
