Madalyn Manzeck photographed in her now old studio by Cassie Sterwald in 2016. Since these photos were taken, Madalyn has moved into a new studio and plans to share photos of the space at the end of March.
Life has kind of been a magical whirlwind lately and I've been savoring every single moment. I recently moved into a brand new studio space located on the marina in downtown Port Washington, Wisconsin. I absolutely, positively love and adore my new studio.
I had been struggling with finding a work life balance and the studio has already tremendously helped. Having a designated space where I "go to work" has restored some of the balance I was lacking in my life. I've been struggling with some issues in my personal life i.e. quarter life crisis issues and I have truly been finding solace in my work. I wake up excited to go to my studio and design new looks and create garments and converse with clients and source fabrics and type up estimates and search for inspiration on a daily basis.
I think I have found what wholly makes me happy... simply doing what I LOVE each and every day. Truly every day because I am currently sitting in my studio on a sunny Sunday afternoon as I am typing up this blog post. When you truly love something, time doesn't exist. The minutes and hours and days and weeks and months feel like no time has passed because you're so engulfed and consumed by what your heart and soul craves. Yes, it sounds absolutely ridiculous but if you have found your passion in life, then you understand exactly what I mean.
The month of March is going to be a crazy busy one! I wanted to share a "working in the studio" post because that is what my entire month of March is going to look like. I won't be sharing as much on the blog other than the new lingerie collection updates simply because I won't have the time to be creating new content specifically for the blog. However, I am really excited to be documenting my entire design process with this new lingerie collection. I'll be sharing every look from start to finish!
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and checking in to see what's new! What is your passion? What makes you happiest in life? Where do you find your solace?
xoxo
