Hi! I’m Maddie (they/them). I am a songwriter and marketer based in Brooklyn, NY.

I believe that empathy and storytelling build community in both digital and physical spaces; I specialize in content development, creative strategy, and social media management for individuals, brands, and hospitality providers.

A throughline in my experience is my passion for working directly with artists and founders; much of my early career was spent working in the nonprofit arts & culture sector.

In my recent experiences with Trueline and MMGY Wagstaff, I led audience growth initiatives for local and small hospitality businesses. Previously, I was Brand Manager for The Marlow Collective, a hospitality group dedicated to sustainable and equitable practices, as well as partnerships with local farmers.

So far this year, I have been lucky to focus on my music project, Volena. Our self-titled EP was released on April 4 via Nothing to Exist Records! In December 2024, I was also part of the inaugural cohort of the Mendocino Art Center’s Greenhouse Residency.

I also love spinning records around Brooklyn, cooking, dancing with friends, and hanging out with my dog, Mildred.
