ABOUT

We're not just your agency,

we're your creative partners.

We believe in working hand-in-hand to take your brand beyond a concept and into reality.

We prioritize a creative + collaborative culture, crafting smart, strategic, and imaginative solutions.

Founded in 2003 by Monique Van Assche-Dermer, the name
MAD came from her own initials and she certainly did make a name for herself. Prioritizing the well-being of her teams from the get-go, Monique and Mad Studio embraced a distributed agency model and a deliberate and engaging way of working that boosted creativity and to this day defines the idea behind “workflow”.

Woman-owned and managed, Monique and Mad Studio are still madly engaged in brand + design. We’re continually evolving the definition of what it means to be an organization with purpose in today’s world, helping clients tell that story for themselves, and ensuring they’re representing what they believe in as a felt experience their audiences can connect with.

DAVE STEWART

DEVELOPER

In the late 90’s, Dave was found hovering in the dumpster of a CompUSA. Scavenging for parts. He was taken in by a tribe of unwashed nerds, and taught the ways of their people. Today, he is surrounded by dozens of things that blink. He can be found occasionally in unmonitored chicken coops, and edgelording as Santa Claus.
