Hi – I'm Maddie
BLOGGING : I've fought myself for quite a while on whether I should dive back into the world of blogging again. I've seen it consume people, which is why I've been hesitant. I figured I'd probably just be fighting myself on this forever if I didn't just do it. I'm passionate about style, beauty, photography, and writing so I plan on this being my outlet for all of those things. But most importantly, I'm passionate about working with people. I want to share my styling secrets, my beauty tips, my life as an artist – but I also want to highlight the people I work with in the process. My vision is to help create a community of people who will work together + support each other.
ART : I am graphic designer and multidisciplinary artist living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I studied fine arts and graphic design at the University of Minnesota-Duluth for a few years. I currently go to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design where I am studying graphic design. I am passionate for the arts and have a love for aesthetic. See my portfolio here.
WORK : As an artist, I wear a lot of hats. I am currently working in freelance (design, illustration, and a little bit of photography). I am just starting a new job with Banana Republic and am so excited to work with clothing hoping to one day take my graphic design into the fashion industry. I worked with Bare Minerals for two and a half years as a makeup artist and am now a freelance makeup artist. I've had many internships in social media because community engagement continues to be an interest of mine.
HOBBIES : I spend my time outside of school and work with friends inside and outside of the creative community. I enjoy meeting new friends and catching up with old friends. I often explore Minneapolis with other creatives from around the city and shoot anything and everything beautiful (with a camera, that is). You can usually find me at a coffee shop behind my macbook or sketchbook.
FAITH : God gifted me with creativity and a love of working with people. I believe in sharing what He has given me and I hope this can be a place to share my creativity, shine a light on the other talented people I have the honor of meeting and working with, and inspire others to find their passions in life.
