Nice to meet you, I'm Madison!
I am a product designer currently working at H&R Block. I have experience in design systems, consumer products, enterprise applications, and websites. With a background in visual design, I am particularly drawn to projects that require a high degree of craft, vision, and design thinking. I have an innovative spirit and enjoy a challenge! My passion for helping people and my love for design drive me to create user interfaces that are simple, aesthetically pleasing, and data-driven. Motivated by innovation and adaptability, I can implement new ideas and processes quickly and effectively. I am energized by a collaborative and creative environment.
When I'm not designing, I indulge in various creative pursuits such as painting, drawing, and baking. Additionally, I cherish moments spent with friends, being outdoors, hiking, and going to the beach.

As someone who believes in building up others, I’ve enjoyed mentoring younger designers, interns, and career changers, and watching them grow!
