Matty Hennessey (he/him) | Designer, Founder + CEO

Matty has worked in the sex industry for most of his adult life, from sex work to sex toys. With the encouragement of his loved ones and community, he decided to pursue his dream; creating a line of sex toys focused on the gender-expansive community and bodies that are most often excluded or overlooked in the sexual wellness space. He started this project as a one-person show, and over time has built an incredible team of visionaries to go on this amazing adventure with. His passion shines through any time he has the opportunity to discuss the importance of community connection, gender-affirming self-care, inclusion, and seeking to understand others by always listening. He hopes to carry those values through this organization by integrating community-user feedback, one-on-one connections, and most importantly; the beauty of emotional mutual aid. He wants to give back to his community through Eversense as a love letter, and works hard everyday to make this vision a furthered reality.

Xiomara España (she/her) | Creative Director + Graphic Designer

Xiomara is a graphic designer with a deep commitment to uplifting marginalized narratives and integrating them into mainstream visual culture. With a background in graphic design and photography, her work lives at the intersection of aesthetics and activism, thoughtfully crafted to affirm, include, and empower.

From early concepting to the final execution of the Eversense site, she approached the design process with clarity and care, ensuring that every color, type choice, and layout supported the brand’s message. Her design voice is nuanced and bold, merging a strong use of color with an editorial eye and a deep understanding of the communities she designs for.

Beyond this project, her work spans print, digital, and packaging design, with a special focus on mission-driven brands. She believes design should be as emotionally intelligent as it is visually compelling, and she brings that ethos to every collaboration.

When she’s not designing, she’s obsessing over street signage, flipping through print archives, or digging through the zine section at Amoeba.
