More About Madeline.
Originally from Silicon Valley, I grew up surrounded by innovation during the early-2000s tech boom, sparking my lasting interest in entrepreneurial technology and its impact. In 2019, I moved just outside of Philadelphia to attend Haverford College, where I deepened my computer science education and developed a strong interest in tech equity—exploring algorithmic bias, data autonomy, and design justice.
At Haverford, I also founded HAUTE, a community fashion collective that earned me recognition as a 2021 HIP Innovations Fellow. Through HAUTE, I collaborated with designers in Philly and New York, worked with top investors, and even had dinner with Stuart Weitzman.
In 2023, I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Computer Science, a minor in Anthropology, and a concentration in Peace, Justice, and Human Rights. I was also honored with the Peace, Justice, and Human Rights Award for Engaged Scholarship for my work in the technology justice space.
I currently work as a Product Manager at Savi—a Better Business Bureau (BBB) start-up dedicated to helping student loan borrowers lower their monthly payments, find forgiveness faster, and navigate the complex federal student loan space. Before joining Savi, I spent 2 years as a Product Manager and UX designer for a high-growth IoT startup Afero, impacting millions of direct consumers.

Operating within dynamic entrepreneurial environments has sharpened my capacity to think quickly and make informed decisions on the fly. Pivoting and iterating under pressure is one of my specialities.
Adaptability
My work emphasizes direct collaboration with end-users to ensure that a product or service aligns closely with their needs. I firmly believe in designing products in partnership with the communities they serve.
Co-Design Practices
I thrive on transforming the unknown into actionable insights. Some of my most fulfilling projects have stemmed from embracing ambiguity, conducting thorough research, and translating it into impactful product solutions.
