Hi, I’m Madison Moats — a multidisciplinary creative working to craft distinctive brands and experiences. My work combines my love for expressive aesthetics and deep research to create attention grabbing visuals rooted in precise strategy.

My experience has ranged from evolving established consumer brands with Unilever, to transforming legacy brands for the digital age at the AJC, to creating brands and experiences from scratch as a part of Reel Friends.

I aim to work adventurously and thoughtfully, always trying new ideas and asking new questions.
