meet me,

Madeline Willson


I am an energetic designer with an abundance of passion for creating.

Somewhere along the way, I have found that space means a lot in any experience. Good light, well-rounded acoustics, and a pleasant smell-scape can influence our experience more than we realize. Impactful design more than a strong idea or impeccable execution, it is subtle too. The details matter and presentation can make or break any solid concept. Whatever the method of engagement or mixed-material strategy, I aim to curate a spatial experience in all my work.

When I’m not working, you can find me sailing the bay with my women’s sailing team or walking my dog on the beach. I think I’m hilarious, but that’s up for debate.
