Who is MMG?

I started interning in the Marketing department of Gabe’s Stores during college and was immediately hired full-time when I graduated. There, I became part of a small-but-mighty team, collectively responsible for ideating, developing, and executing a tremendous number of deliverables monthly. It was busy, exciting work with substantial writing: email, app pushes, social media, in-store announcements, SMS, internal communications, and more. The experience has helped me to hone my skills, deepen my understanding of branding, discern direct-to-consumer strategies, and navigate the ever-evolving world of social media.

Hey there, and thanks for stopping by! I’m Mary Madeline Gould, a ~May~ Gemini who loves her cat, Huckleberry, cheering on the Mountaineers during football season, enjoying cozy Harry Potter weekends, sipping on a big cup of coffee, and going all out when decorating for any holiday.

School

I graduated from West Virginia University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism, majoring in Advertising & Public Relations and minoring in Interactive Design for Media. My love for illustration began during my second semester of sophomore year when everyone was sent home for COVID—turning that unexpected break into the perfect opportunity to dive into Adobe tutorials on YouTube.
