I’m Maddie, a seasoned designer and design leader.

With more than a decade’s worth of in-house studio experience on marketing and design teams — having managed other designers, agency relationships, and contractors throughout — I've honed my skills through collaborative projects that thrive on communication and thoughtful craft.

I've seamlessly managed remote projects with teams in Chicago, Boston, and across the globe, despite being an American based in London. Business partners have recognized me for my excellence in operations, strategic planning, and project management.

I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Notre Dame, where I double-majored in Studio Art (with a Concentration in Painting & Drawing) and Pre-Medical Studies.
