about MADELINE HESS
​
​
(That's me! But we'll stay in third person anyway.)
​
Madeline is an electrical engineer and lighting designer based in Pittsburgh, PA. She graduated in 2021 from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor and Master of Architectural Engineering, concentrated in lighting design and electrical systems, as well as a minor in German.
​
In her personal life, Madeline enjoys many creative pursuits, including drawing, songwriting, and various writing projects. She can often be found in a coffee shop on the weekends, working toward the completion of her next novel. Her other de-stressors include singing loudly in the car, boxing, and spending time outdoors.

about THE LOOKING GLASS
​
As a lifelong fan of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, as well as Lewis Carroll's other works, Madeline's approach to art and design is one of storytelling and transportation. And if some of her work seems like nonsense, she hopes that - like the world on the other side of the looking glass - it's the fun kind of nonsense.
