designer, marketer, Creative problem solver

Hi, I'm Maggie

I’m a creative who thrives at the connection of strategy and creativity. I love to lean into craft and find ways to breathe some human touch into the designs I create.

I’ve worked with a range of different businesses from modern global tech brands to small businesses in interior design and home goods.

What I'm currently working on:
Finding new foodie spots in Milwaukee
Getting back into quilting
Designing my first typeface (stay tuned!)

Surprise!

I went to journalism school

That's right, I studied the marketing side of journalism. Specially diving into how brands strategically communicate. All with a side of graphic design.

I'm not just an artist: I'm a creative communicator. I'm interested in how and why brands successfully communicate, while also making things look nice.

My bachelor's degree is in Strategic Communication from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UW-Madison. The breadth of this program allowed me to deepen my understanding of communication and marketing while also honing my design skills.
