A Bit About Me
I am a UI/UX designer with a background in graphic design and illustration. I currently work as a Product Designer for LeagueApps, a youth sports mobile app. I've also worked in the real estate tech industry for Homesnap, a CoStar Group Company, designing products for both native and responsive web. In addition to my product design work I can jump in to create illustrations and animations as needed, along with designing trigger emails, marketing emails and comprehensive conference collateral.
I love drawing, baking and dabbling in production design for personal film projects. My cat Remus is the king of my heart & house, which is on a little hill in the blue ridge mountains.

Madeline is a rare talent who will make an outstanding contribution to any organization. I worked closely with her on multiple feature releases. First off, Madeline has a natural gift for discovery, design, and workflows. What impressed me the most is how thoroughly she researched new products. She has what I call ‘chess brain’. She asks meaningful questions and considers the full impact of her design on the end user. In addition, Madeline easily built rapport across Homesnap due to her positive attitude and active listening skills. As a product designer, Madeline earns my highest recommendation.

Madeline and I were both UX designers on the Homesnap and Citysnap products where I got to see her skills as a UXer develop and shine. Madeline is an in-depth design thinker, flexible and unafraid of ambiguity. She took on native iOS, Android, responsive web, and email design projects, giving every task thought, care and not wavering until the best solution was achieved. Interpersonally, she’s very conscientious and attuned to others needs making her a pleasure to work with. If there was a Madeline on every team, the world would be a better place!

I am so happy I got to work with Madeline during our time at Homesnap. She is one of the kindest people I have met in a LONG time and just as importantly, an amazing designer. I worked with her on multiple projects where I often took designs of hers and animated them and not only was her stuff great to work with, she was so easy to collaborate with and incredibly helpful and clear on the needs of the task at hand. A fantastic combo of team player and rad designer!
