Hello, I’m Maddy Odom,
a multi-hyphenate explorer, creator and mother based in Paris.
Simply put, I love a good project, whether that’s writing my weekly newsletter on Substack, creating a one-off passion project, or collaborating with clients to design trips and retreats in Paris and across France.
With a background as a two-time tech startup founder and partner at a design studio, my experience blends creative strategy and brand development, with an approach rooted in crafting inspiring experiences that spark wonder and connection. Now settled (back) in Paris, a city I’ve called home part-time and full-time over the past eight years, I bring my local expertise and perspective to every experience I design or co-create.
