madeline maurer (She/her)

I have half of a studio art degree, I stopped partially because of unmet needs/mental health struggles. Which lead me to working for myself and helping with a good friends start up. Now that I am I have necessary needs met I look forward to going back to school for graphic design once I gain residency in California. I find it important to recognize that my disabilities or whatever you want to call them are only labeled as such because I deviate from what capitalism views as profitable. I don’t say that to bash capitalism, in fact excluding the fact that I am viewed as faulty, I have great appreciation for fierce competition capitalism holds. My favorite part of capitalism is marketing and branding, I find it fascinating the aural quality that a brand holds. Wether personal or professional marketing done right is nonverbal communication, doesn’t get more autistic then that.

Ideal Workplace Values

Aware that my “differences” hold important value, interested in the perspective my unique mind brings to the table as opposed to a token autistic or simply a diversity hire.
