About me
Hi, I'm Madelyn.
I'm a multidisciplinary creator based in Irvine, specializing in photography, web design, UX/UI, architectural rendering, branding, and AI optimization.
I approach each project by first establishing a clear visual direction through mood boards, references, and cohesive design systems. From there, I focus on making sure every element works together visually while also serving a clear purpose.
My background in consumer psychology at UCI has influenced the way I think about design and branding. I'm interested in more than just how something looks—I care about how people respond to visuals, what captures their attention, and what ultimately makes them want to engage.
I've always been an artist at heart, which makes me especially attentive to the craft and details behind a project. Whether I'm creating a photograph, architectural render, website, or brand identity, I want the final result to feel intentional, cohesive, and thoughtfully executed.
What I do
Skills & Disciplines
Creating cohesive visual identities — logos, color systems, typography, and brand guidelines that communicate a clear story.
I've served as creative director for photography and videography, understanding both the technical and visual sides of marketing. I work closely with teams, guiding the vision to deliver elevated results while staying true to brand identity.
As Senior AI Lead & Marketing Specialist, I guide and manage a team of two AI and marketing juniors. I love the challenge of managing people — my background in undergraduate psychology lends itself well to strong professional people skills. My favorite business book is Creative, Inc.
Proficient in Claude Code for building and coding, and fully comfortable using MCPs and APIs to connect AI to apps for higher output. I specialize in Claude, Higgsfield, Seedance, Nano Banana, Pletor, and more — along with the AI workflows that tie them together. I use AI to create presentations, ad videos, and photos — and I'm constantly learning.
Photorealistic, true-to-scale renders that look like real life for residential and commercial projects — created using AI rendering technology. Every space is meticulously designed down to the interior layout, lighting, and furniture.
Studio photography is my focus, alongside landscape, portrait, street, and nature work. Skilled in composition, lighting, and post-processing in Lightroom & Photoshop.
End-to-end product design in Figma — wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and design systems, always designed with the user experience in mind.
Designing high-converting email campaigns — from concept to code-ready templates. Experienced with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, and HubSpot.
Advanced retouching, color grading, and compositing in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. From subtle refinements to full transformations.
