About Madi

My journey has always centered around storytelling and connection. Whether I am collaborating with musicians, directing shoots, or shaping a brand’s online presence, I have learned that the most impactful work comes from a place of authenticity.

I collaborate closely with women-owned brands and nonprofits that are pushing their industries forward. With Aer Cosmetics, I lead creative direction across content, education, and social strategy, always prioritizing sustainability and accessibility.

Whether it is a small business or a large-scale production, my focus is on building meaningful experiences that reflect purpose and care.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in supporting disruptive women and upcoming LGBTQ+ businesses by creating in ways that are unconventional, intentional, and rooted in community. To me, photography is a conversation—a way to document emotion, tell stories, and preserve what often goes unseen. I create to connect, to empower, and to add to the archive of those challenging societal norms.
