hi, i'm madeline.

welcome to my galaxy!

i’m a product builder and creative technologist who likes understanding how people use things, figuring out what could work better, and turning those ideas into something real. my work spans research, strategy, product, ops, design, and code. after graduating from umich with a bba + bsi in ux design and co-founding soundswap, i’m now looking for my next opportunity to help create thoughtful products and experiences.
