Maddie can’t remember a time when color wasn’t central in her life. She grew up longing for a hot pink and lime green bedroom and was always a pink and orange girl at Limited Too (IYKYK!). In 2016, she turned her love of color and style into a dual degree in fashion merchandising and marketing. 

For the last ten years, Maddie has worked in the fashion industry in corporate buying and merchandising. She has an eye for trends (it’s literally her day job) and can adapt any color trend to fit your personal palette and style. Outside of her corporate job, Maddie owns a plus-size vintage store called Big Gay Pants, where she sources clothing in sizes 12-32 and creates custom thrift boxes for her clients in their color palette, size, and style.

Through Something Blue, Maddie is bringing all of her experience and style loves together to invite more people in. Because too many color analysts only focus on white, thin, and feminine clients. Not Maddie. She takes an inclusive approach to color analysis and has prioritized training with clients of all skin tones, ethnicities, gender identities, and sizes. Maddie makes it a priority that you see yourself in her social media, color analysis materials, and style inspiration. While working together, you will find that Maddie uses body-neutral language — she is not here to find out what colors make you look thin or feminine, she’s here to find the colors that make you glow just as you are!

Maddie also loves working with brides. For the last five years, she has worked as a diamond engagement ring buyer and merchandising manager for Brilliant Earth. To her, bridal attire is art. She enjoys providing bridal styling recommendations and loves when her brides, grooms, and marriers want to wear something outside of the box! Maddie is newly engaged and currently planning her very own big gay wedding, where she and her fiancée will be fully decked out in their best colors.
