About Me
I’m Madalyn! A graphic designer and digital illustrator from the Twin Cities, MN.
Welcome to my portfolio! I’m a Marketing and Graphic Design BBA major at the University of Minnesota, and I will be graduating in May of 2025. From a young age, I’ve always had a deep passion for art and design, with my hobbies naturally gravitating towards anything creative—whether it was drawing, painting, sewing, or exploring other forms of art. This passion has only grown stronger as I’ve pursued my education and has lead me to choose a creative path in both my academic work and personal projects.
Design isn’t just a career for me; it’s a lens through which I view the world. I’ve always had an eye for aesthetics, whether it’s in print, digital design, photography, fashion, or even home decor. To me, aesthetics and design plays a pivotal role in how we communicate and connect, shaping the way people perceive and interact with ideas, products, and people. This understanding drives my desire to create visually appealing, functional, and purposeful work. I’m a perfectionist by nature, with a keen eye for detail, and I believe every element, no matter how small, contributes to the bigger picture.
Outside of design, I’m passionate about exploring other creative outlets and finding inspiration. I enjoy painting, making jewelry and other wearable art, hiking, the outdoors, and spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy traveling and visiting new restaurants, markets, and boutiques. These activities keep me inspired and provide fresh perspectives that I bring into my design work. As I continue my studies and build my portfolio, I’m excited to push my creative boundaries and work on projects that make an impact. Thank you for taking the time to explore my journey!
