Hey, I’m Madeleine 👋
Product designer, art director, and sometimes curator of art exhibitions.
Originally from Chicago, I left the Midwest to study art history and creative writing at New York University. I began curating exhibitions in 2013, and launched the exhibition program at Spoonbill Books in 2017.
During my time curating exhibitions, I loved crafting the experience beyond just the show, from landing pages and multi-media graphics for email and social to presentations for press and clients.
In 2020, I embraced my love of design, and channelled my problem solving, research, production and people skills into spearheading the design and launch of a mobile app for a start-up.
I continue put my creativity and keen eye to use in digital mediums, producing visual content for the start-up's social and editorial platforms, as well as illustrations and visual brand assets for small businesses.
My favorite mantra when approaching design is "kill your darlings," borrowed from my creative writing background.
