Very involved Before starting her career as an interior designer, Madeleine worked as a finishing carpenter. Starting right out of high school, she worked as a carpenter while going to school for interior design. Before striking out on her own, she earned four years of experience working for a commercial design/build firm, doing mainly corporate office projects, while running some residential projects on the side on her own. She realized early on that she had more of a passion for the residential sector because of the personal connections she could build with clientele. “Doing residential, you get a little more insight into your client’s life,” she explains. “You get to know them. You get to figure out what kind of space they enjoy. Everyone is so different. I found that pretty rewarding.” Madeleine started Madeleine Schmidt Design in 2014, incorporating and changing names to Madeleine Design MAY 2022
