As her Instgram following \u2014 @madelinekate_illustrates \u2014 nears 125,000, Madeline Hostetler \u201913 Martinez finds herself juggling a full-time graphic design job at children\u2019s apparel company Hanna Andersson<\/a>, along with offers from big name companies, and the less appealing administrative aspects of running her own business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I never would have imagined,\u201d confesses the illustrator who has recently worked with Headspace<\/a>, Aurate<\/a>, Netflix<\/a>, Adobe<\/a>, and Four Sigmatic<\/a>. She is also \u201cin the process of illustrating two books, one is on its way to publishing and the other is still in-progress with a lot of work to do!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten years ago in the 2009-10 school year, Madeline was in ninth grade, beginning to explore her style as an illustrator and photographer. And Instagram was created in October of that year. Madeline and her peers had recently retired AOL Messenger accounts for Facebook messaging and texting on flip phones. In those 10 years, the possibilities for a freelance artist have exploded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kind of freelance work is perfect me as an introvert,\u201d reflects Madeline, who would love to do the work exclusively and full time. For now, she clocks her freelance hours in the evenings and on weekends. It\u2019s a full load. And, she says, \u201cI\u2019m also not a big fan of \u2018admin\u2019 duties involved with running a business, so that will forever be a drag for me in the freelance department.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope my work helps transport people to a moment of deep feeling, even if just for a second,\u201d says Madeline on Ballistic, a \u201cplatform for creatives around the world to speak up about their work.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThose small moments of profound feeling make life meaningful,\u201d she says, \u201cand it makes me happy to share them with someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madeline is married to Luis Martinez \u201912, a chef at Eem Thai Barbecue, one of Thrillist\u2019s<\/a>\u2018best new restaurants in America,\u201d and Portland\u2019s best restaurant of the year<\/a> for 2019. Most recently, the restaurant was named semifinalist for the 2020 James Beard award for \u201cBest New Restaurant<\/a>\u201d in the US.\u201d The business is located a few blocks from their apartment in Portland, Ore., where they make their home with their dog, Cooper.<\/p>\n
