My name is Maddie, Madeline, Maddiemad and sometimes Madster. I am a wife and mom of three kiddos ages 17, 15, and 6. I work out of my home office (err, office space) here in Partly Cloudy Upstate, New York. I don’t have a set schedule and I like it just fine, but I can pretty much always be reached via email, or google chat because I obsessively check my email often. I tend to work best laaate nights, because during the day it’s pretty much kids domain.

I absolutely love designing, and most nights I seriously dream about it. I know, I’m a dork. I find myself grabbing ideas for design everywhere, from stationary, to cute shoes. I scour magazines, and keep a large bulletin board above my desk with various print ads, showcasing interesting typography and color combinations. I have a slight obsession with collecting fonts and dingbats. I find web design to be hard work, but just as equally rewarding. There’s simply no way to describe how happy it makes me to take an idea someone has and see it come to life on the web. I can talk your ear off on this subject but, the jist of it is, I am happiest when I’m being creative :)
