Hi! My name is Maddie. I’ve been using my art to tell stories before I could even write. When I was little, I would spend hours belly down on the wooden floor of my childhood home, stapling together printer paper, illustrating with colored pencils, and writing indecipherable sentences. The only thing I felt somewhat confident about writing were the letters “D” and “N”, which I thought meant “the end”. Now that I’m older and can read and write, I’ve been putting my visual storytelling abilities to use by creating concept art for animation. I am skilled in both 2D and 3D mediums, and I love to experiment with blending them together. I love helping to bring new concepts to life through my art, and can’t wait to collaborate with other storytellers in the industry.
I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in May 2024 (Summa Cum Laude, if I may add!) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Animation! I graduated with two directing credits: TechnoPet (2022) and Frankie (2024).
I am proficient in various animation software such as Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects, Toon Boom Harmony, Photoshop, and much more. Aside from software proficiencies, I am a skilled communicator, have an excellent work ethic, and am eager to learn and grow.
Hey! Thanks for reading a little bit about me and taking the time to check my stuff out :)
