About Maddy Merzvinskis

An Illustrator tutorial for a cartoon panda in my Year 9 VisCom class was all it took to get me hooked on design. Now, I care deeply about telling stories through visual expressions, creating brands that empower the teams that use them, and making cool things with good people. When I’m not zooming around Figma, I’m usually in the kitchen trying to perfect my cinnamon babka, starting a stuffed toy crochet project way too close to my nephew’s birthday, or straightening the precarious pile of receipts, coasters and other scraps that I SWEAR one day I’ll add into my scrapbook.
