About us
We are a small, specialized team that helps nonprofit communicators. We work with organizations whose missions we love, such as IPPF, IUCN, Balance and the Sexual Rights Initiative.
Through our projects, we have learned a lot about biodiversity, sexual and reproductive rights, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), climate change, bees and a whole lot of other things, always in the areas of Human Rights and Environment.
In nearly a decade, we’ve built lots of websites, some internal databases for nonprofits, interactive screens for an international book fair, and more.
We are now focused on Blueprint
The platform and process we use to create powerful websites for nonprofits while helping their busy communicators save time and effort.
Joyful collaboration
We strive to make collaboration —within our team, with our clients, and other partners— joyful and satisfying.
Our keys to joyful collaboration are open and honest communication; and clarity in goals, processes and responsibilities.

Fernanda Villava
UX AND CONTENT STRATEGY
She majored in Communication — proving her kindergarten director a prophet. An avid reader who made a dream come true working at the Guadalajara International Book Fair. She worked there several years in various positions, ultimately becoming the director of the Rights Center; she then left to co-found Matrushka.
At CONFAB she finally understood that everything she loves doing in web projects — discovery, UX, information architecture, taxonomy, content inventories, etc... — has an umbrella called Content Strategy. She continues to specialize in the field, with a strong focus in UX and accessibility.
