IT'S ME,
MADISSON
YOUNGLOVE
Telling stories on web(pages) and stages
Named one of Publicity Club of Chicago's "30 Under 30" in the city of Chicago during 2020
My Experience
I'm a storyteller by trade and by nature. I have a proven eye for detail, passion for brand voice and relentless drive toward excellence. By day, find me writing, posting and collaborating. By night, see me on one of Chicago's stages acting, laughing and making others laugh.
At all times, catch me saying "Yes, And" to whatever comes my way!
