- The Poetics of Space
Maddy Stocking is an artist, designer, curator and creative consultant based in Chicago, IL. She has extensive experience working alongside bespoke and luxury women-run start ups; partnering with brands in the arts, floral, healing and lifestyle industries to develop cohesive visual brand identities, experiences, and just about everything in between. Having largely worked with independent and up and coming projects, she has been able to foster an immense sense of trust and understanding with her clients that translates across channels of production. Her artistic practice in collage, photography and drawing informs every project that she takes on, elevating each partnership with thoughtful vision and attention. She is driven by her affinity for practical magic and the potential to alchemize the deeply personal into something that everyone can connect to, weaving this material across design, events, styling, curation, and consulting modalities.
