About —
Madeleine Parsons is a designer, writer and educator concerned with craft and its relationship to the built environment. Her role as Art Director at Colony, an independent design gallery, and Colony Consult, a strategy firm offering cross-disciplinary creative direction for design studios, architecture firms and global manufacturers, allow her constant insight into this relationship.
In 2022, she helped launch and co-direct the ongoing Colony Residency, an eight-month incubator program granting subsidized studio rent, an inaugural exhibition and gallery representation to a selected pool of nascent design studios. Outside of her work at Colony, she writes Design in Verse, a newsletter on the dialogue between literature and design, and teaches within the School of Constructed Environments BFA Product Design at Parsons, The New School.
She is currently an MFA candidate in Hunter College’s CNF writing program, where she is working on an essay collection about the built environment.
