Hi, I'm Maddie Sloyer, a passionate illustrator and designer currently studying for my BFA in Illustration at Syracuse University. I love creating unique illustrations that align perfectly with the editorial themes of various magazines and working collaboratively with editors and directors to bring articles to life through visuals. My creativity and flexibility have been key in my freelance and internship roles. Alongside my freelance work, I also have experience in UX/UI design, having recently interned where I led the design process for a new icon, ensuring accessibility and clarity. I enjoy combining my artistic skills with technology to create meaningful and effective design solutions.
