Maddy Hanson Design
Record holder of most hobbies collected
...probably.
I’m a Toronto-based Senior Graphic Designer with over 10 years of experience creating enterprise-scale visual communications for one of Canada’s leading retail organizations. My expertise spans brand systems, corporate communications, presentations, editorial design, and omni-channel campaigns, with a focus on translating complex business information into clear, engaging visual experiences.
Outside of work, I spend my time baking, getting outside to hike/bike/camp and taking up new hobbies (need any custom rubber stamps, anyone?). I'm a bit of a jack of all trades and love to learn new things. I'm currently learning to do some (minor) home renovations and next on the docket is to try my hand at stained glass.
I'm always on the look out for a new challenge, so please feel free to reach out to discuss any opportunities for us to work together.
