Born in Sydney and now working across the US and Australia, Madeline is a Young Director Award finalist and Canne Lion winner. Her commercial work includes brands such as United Nations, Gilette, Maybelline, Nike and Blackmores.

Madeline talks through her fantastic commercial spot for the 2020 UN Women gender equality campaign 'She'll be Right', making the move to the US as a relatively new director, the challenges and opportunities of being a female director in 2021, and her overall approach to collaborating with agencies and creatives.
