Nice to meet you! I'm Maddie, a product designer and front-end developer collaborating with hybrid teams to build custom products and experiences.
About Me
I have a mindset for envisioning and building software. Usually I'm designing a new interface, collaborating with other designers, or coding a solution on a front-end system. Making sure to live between the magic of design and development. I've been grateful to work with cutting-edge businesses and teams across the US and Europe. Each product or client is led to deliver results in an intentional and impactful way. After working as the first-hired product designer at Y-Combinator API startupReadMe, I started freelancing remotely while traveling, enjoying the variety of clients and products I collaborated on, eventually leading cohorts of designers and developers to build custom solutions.
Following traveling and working remote for some time, I moved abroad and settled in Edinburgh, Scotland working for design consultanciesFjord, Part of Accenture and Elsewhen.
Collaboration style
Key Principles
01
Understanding customers
Gain insights
To build a superior product with an impactful user experience, I start with customer research and stakeholder interviews to ensure I understand the audience we’re building for, the problem being solved, and goals to achieve.
02
Working together towards a vision
Create a strategy
Using insights from our stakeholder and customer interviews, we’ll begin crafting product design solutions. As we think through the details, I'll bring in clients, stakeholders and developers to finalise a solution.
03
Learning what's successful
Follow through
Once the product is in a good place, we’ll get it in front audiences, ensuring their feedback is incorporated early on. From there, I'll continue to test and iterate until the product meets certain goals and criteria keeping development in mind.
04
Working from start to finish
Finalising a vision
As a product grows and evolves, I'm happy to continue working with clients, stakeholders and developers, whether it's small tweaks or an entire pivot, or a bug appears within the product that needs engineering assistance.
I've worked with kind and innovative teams over the past 6+ years
