Hey, I’m Madeleine 👋
Curator, writer, product marketer, and storyteller dedicated to shaping experiences through art, design, and technology.
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, curating shows that brought together artists, writers, and audiences in dynamic conversation.
My curatorial practice extends beyond the gallery walls. I love building the full experience, from writing press releases and exhibition texts to creating presentations and materials that forms an interconnected experience.
Alongside my curatorial work, I’ve applied my eye for design and storytelling to digital and corporate spaces, producing content, leading product launches, and shaping marketing strategy for small businesses, a startup, and corporate company in the tech space.
My favorite mantra when approaching my work is "kill your darlings," borrowed from my creative writing background.
