Available to hire
Hi, I’m Ted Madden, a multidisciplinary designer with a strong background in architecture, digital fabrication, and public art installation. I enjoy bridging conceptual thinking with technical precision to deliver innovative architectural and artistic projects. With hands-on experience in both design and execution, I bring a collaborative and detail-oriented approach to every project.
I’m proficient in a variety of tools including Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, and Adobe Creative Suite, and I thrive on developing parametric workflows that streamline design processes. Whether I’m creating large-scale installations or managing architectural productions, I always prioritize creativity, efficiency, and quality.
