I create disruptive visual and sensory experiences that interrupt autopilot — and make brands impossible to ignore. I’m Madeline Chernosky, a strategic creative and brand identity designer based in Cleveland, OH. My formal law education juxtaposed by 10+ years of design experience fostered a dual fluency most designers cannot deliver: an understanding of where a brand needs to go, not just what it should look like today. I am dangerously curious. My work challenges conformity, balances calm and chaos, and asks the question every brand should be asking: not just who are you — but who are you becoming? Innovate. Engage. Optimize.

    Brand Identity: HDX Embroidery House

    Good design is more than aesthetics; it’s about finding order in chaos and establishing lasting impact. For the HDX Embroidery House case study, I designed a multi-touchpoint brand system that challenges conformity. By pairing raw, hand-drawn illustration systems with clean, strategic digital execution, I curated a portfolio narrative that is both visually striking and aligned with long-term business growth. From developing internal mockups to orchestrating social media rollouts for major client activations, this project reflects my core belief: creating meaningful visual moments that force conscious awareness.
