Madeleine Rogers's work sits in a slightly hard to define space between surface pattern design, illustration and sculpture. She set up her practice, Mibo, in 2001 after a decade working as an Art Director for film & TV. She designed a collection of 20 patterned lampshades, took them to sell at Spitalfields and before long was working with stores such as Habitat, Heals and the Conran Shop. The practice has evolved over the years, as a kind of creative mirror to various life stages and events. (There's a little pictorial timeline here if you are interested).
​
Madeleine is most interested in how design can address some of the environmental and social problems we now face. She recently graduated from The University of Brighton with an MA in Sustainable Design (Dist) and prior to that studied Design for Social Innovation at Kingston University. She hopes to use her creative practice to promote thoughtful reflection on how to live with care, both for each other and also our non-human planetmates.
​
More recently she has worked on a very special project with her sister, Cathy Rogers, creating a children's book called Future Vision - an optimstic and hopeful take on how we can make a good life on this pale blue dot.
