THE NAME AND Nominal TALENTS OF THREE DEAD PRESIDENTS

Congratulations on arriving at my about me page. You did it!

I’m Madison Taylor Jackson, a Chicago-based creative leader and lipstick wearer. I’ve spent over a decade crafting successful campaigns for cool brands like Skittles, Nike, a tiny roadside ice cream stand in New Hampshire & many others. I write ‘ads’ every time I write my first name. I also write ‘dam son’ ‘no ma’ and ‘im sad.’ Need a creative problem solved? I’ve got the secret sauce (it’s aioli), plus a passion for horror movies, my dog’s eyebrows and noticing when someone gets a haircut.

You can reach me at madisontaylorjackson@gmail.com. I love to be reached.
