Dallas, Texas, United States
About Me: Hey there! my name is Madison Browning, however, everyone calls me Maddie! I am a recent graduate from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts for Fashion Design, as well as earning two minors in Merchandising and Art History. I am currently based in Dallas, TX where I am established as a Bridal Consultant for an upscale bridal boutique right in the heart of the design district; Iconic Bride. I am striving to become a well-rounded stylist and am open to exploring Photo styling, advertisements, or runway production. However, I am beginning to see the endless opportunities the fashion industry has to offer, and am willing to put forth the knowledge and skill I have to obtain a successful career. I am always encouraging myself to learn and stay ahead of the fashion industry. 5 years ago I was dreaming about where I am today. 5 years from now I would like to be able to look back and be lightyears ahead of my personal accomplishments and career goals.
