Hello, my name is Madeline Liao.
By merging thoughtfulness with authenticity, I am a written and visual communicator who designs with heart. I take into account as many perspectives and details as I can, seeing things others
might miss.I'm currently a communications assistant for the Disability Foundation. I was previously an online editor and arts & culture editor at The Eyeopener. I was also an art and editoral intern at Broadview. I have also worked as a copy editor for the student publication StyleCircle and as a graphic designer for CanCulture Magazine. I attended Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Journalism and am currently completing my graphic design certificate at British Columbia Institute of Technology.In 2022, I received the award for Written Word: Feature Story from the Emerge Media Awards for my feature on racialized students’ mental health. I also received the Albert E. Wadham Award from Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Journalism in 2022.
