Madie is a multidisciplinary designer. People and process come first. Her creative practice is through a strategic lens of intentional research, open collaboration, and radical empathy. At Teal, she loves to build brands, write words, center change, and learn—endlessly. She’s served as a versatile creative on clients including PFLAG, Amnesty International, and the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation, to name a few.
Madie has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design and a minor in Creative Writing from the College for Creative Studies. While in undergrad, Madie participated in a variety of projects, such as sponsored studios with Honda and the Detroit Historical Society. She centered her studies on exploring design’s role in social justice.
When not designing, she writes dramatic love songs on her guitar, pens equally dramatic poetry, listens to 10,000+ minutes of Taylor Swift, and spends every other waking moment with loved ones.
I’ve been told that I am a real-life Jessica Day—thrilled to be alive. Also, according to my friends, I dress like a bag of Skittles.
