As a maker, Madison is driven by the ability of craft to transcend time, as ways of working with hands and artistic inspirations are passed down through centuries of human experience. here work is influenced by the work of ancient craftspeople and devotion to hand craft itself, as well as mythology and a love of local ecosystems.

Through her business Melusae, Madison aims to imbue the wearers of her work with a heightened sense of their own magic. The way we choose to adorn ourselves has an immense power to influence mood, comfort, and confidence. Adornment, especially jewelry, has the unique ability to make us feel the most like ourselves. And when we feel like ourselves, we feel at home in the world.
