Madeleine Glassford- The Space Between

Two ADDYs. A Gold Award. Summa cum laude. And right now, working retail at a stationery shop while the design industry figures out what to do with her. This week, Quinn and Naila sit with Madeleine Glassford — a December 2025 BFA graduate from Flagler College — in the gap between what design school rewards and what hiring actually selects for. We talk about why beautifully designed resumes are getting killed by ATS software before a human ever sees them, what it actually means to have range in a market that wants specialists, and what Quinn honestly thinks when she sees a portfolio this multidisciplinary land on her desk. Plus: Australian coastal and Aboriginal-inspired design making its way into American feeds, Pakistan's truck art tradition, and what Madeleine wants her career to look like in ten years — spoiler, she's not waiting for someone to hand it to her!
