A little bit about me.

hey, my name is maddie.

I graduated from James Madison University (JMU) in 2023, where I studied Media Arts and Design (SMAD), concentrating in Creative Advertising and minoring in Studio Art. I explored my passion for design and photography as the Art Director for The Breeze, JMU's student newspaper, and as the co-launcher and Creative Director of Proust, a student lifestyle magazine. During my time at JMU, I fell in love with the community of Harrisonburg, where I was a volunteer Young Life leader and a track-and-field coach at Harrisonburg High School. I lived in the city in a 100-year-old house with nine classmates. Both JMU and my housemates supported and pushed me to develop, not only academically and creatively, but also personally, for which I am incredibly grateful.

 

I recently moved to Charleston, South Carolina, after having lived in Charlottesville, VA my whole life, to experience a new place, a new culture, a new challenge. One of my core goals is to continually step out of my comfort zone, pushing myself to explore new horizons and develop fresh skills. My positive, friendly and humorous personality helps create an enjoyable environment, whether that is in the workplace or with friends, while my meticulous attention to detail ensures that everything I do is executed thoughtfully. I’m excited to bring my unique blend of creativity, teamwork, adaptability, precision and a growth-oriented mindset to a career!
