What else does Maddie Do?

Maddie is a multidisciplinary artist, from design and visual art to music producing and songwriting she likes to bring elements of all her skills together to make mutated and absurd creations. Over the course of her professional career, she has fabricated miniature sets in the film world for commercials and shows including Apple’s “Share Your Gifts” short film, a Goldfish commercial, several Disney commercials/series, the DropoutTV’s “D20”, and a HotWheels stop motion youtube series, to name a few. In addition to her fabrication career, she’s had a lengthy career as a child hand model/puppeteer - most notably for the series “Barbie Live in the Dreamhouse” and “Dreamtopia”. Her most recent career is Doll Styling at Mattel - styling hair, outfits and poses for such brands as Barbie, Masters of the Universe, WWE, Polly Pocket and beyond! 

I’ve worked as a production designer on several short films including Neil Young’s “My Pledge” music video, Ember Knights “Uni the Space Elf”, and Derek QX’s “12,000 Parrots”. I’ve designed and fabricated props for Ember Knight’s “The Ember Knight Show” featured on Adult Swim Smalls, and collaborated with Vera Drew to design and fabricate a miniature set for “Hot Topics” as well as a puppet for her critically acclaimed film “The People’s Joker”. Previously to focusing on Rectangles I have been part of several bands/ music projects including Smiling Beth, Ember and His Orchestra, and Cheryl by Ember Knight. 

It’s been my lifelong dream to focus on music and explain who I am on stage, and Rectangles has become my coming out show as a solo artist. I’ve spent a lot of time being the person polishing someone else’s dreams and I’ve loved it and learned a lot from it and with all that knowledge I’m now coming into my own and focusing on making Rectangles as devastating as ever.
