In the Office

Madelyn is DesignHammer's go-to for social media graphics, banners, posters, and so much more. She also produces client wireframes and design concepts, and is always working to advance her design skills and further enhance her front-end coding abilities.

Professional Background

Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Madelyn has been exposed to graphic and web design since she was a little girl. She originally gained her love of art from her father, who instilled in her the importance of creativity and originality. She started to really explore this path in 4th grade while taking an after-school art class, and has embraced every opportunity to explore her capabilities ever since. One of her first and favorite jobs was as a floral arranger and designer, and from that time on she knew she wanted to pursue a career that allowed her to express her artistic side. Madelyn attended Wake Technical Community College and graduated with an Associates of Arts degree and a certificate in Advertising and Graphic Design.

Out of the Office

Madelyn is the founder of Creative Kicks, painting superheroes, cartoon characters, historical art, and more on shoes she sells. She has received many challenging requests for shoe designs and has been very successful in meeting expectations. When her head isn't buried in her shoes, you can probably find Madelyn planning her next exploration. Thanks to her 7 years of studying and speaking French, she has been able to spend a few months in France allowing her to develop close friends across the globe. She is also a willing volunteer for her religion by teaching others and helping with the construction of local congregations. Madelyn’s many adventures and activities have kept her grounded and taught her many important qualities such as patience, how to be a hard worker, and to show love to everyone she comes across.
