Hey, my name is Madi! I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. In all honesty, I’ve been passionate about creative work ever since I was in kindergarten, trying to create unique colors out of my eight-pack of crayons. Here I am, years later, still on this journey of discovering what being a creative is all about. Because for me, design isn’t simply about making something pretty for the sake of aesthetics. Design should be both useful and beautiful. For me, effective design combines multiple elements into one high-functioning, cohesive message.
I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with several different companies with distinctive mission sets. At Off Madison Ave, I strategized with colleagues to create campaigns that drive travel and tourism. I’ve also designed print collateral and marketing material for the tech start-up Shield AI, print and digital marketing materials for local communities and small businesses with CGI Digital, advertising material with Desert Financial Credit Union, unique illustrations for Wilderbloom Coffee Roasters, and a broad range of brand-specific work for InterVarsity.
When I’m not at my desk, you can find me making pottery, reviewing my Korean flashcards, or trying out a new recipe.
