About us

North & Madison was started by Robin Flaherty and Jess Milburn with the intention of making the process of hiring a designer more approachable and FUN. North & Madison is all about creating comfortable, happy living spaces. Our mission is to help you create a space that you are proud of, that brings you joy, and that makes your house a home.

Hello, I am Robin

I have over ten years of experience working in the business side of the home accessories industry, specifically working with small businesses and artists. I love to design spaces that are slightly unexpected and that encourage homeowners to step out of their comfort zone. My three boys keep me on my toes and I can't imagine my life without the chaos they create.

Hi, I am Jess

My love for design started as a child and grew deeper and deeper as I had gotten older. I started by renovating several homes and eventually started a business solely concentrating on buying and flipping homes until Miss Robin came along and thus, N and M was born. What an honor it has been to do what we love most in the world for our wonderful and trusting clients! Outside of design, I am a mother to my four sweet girls.

Hello, I am Megan

I have had a creative soul for as long as I can remember, so it was a no brainer for me to study Interior Design in college. My passion for creating spaces and experiences has led me to a career in Interior Design, Event Design and Residential Real Estate throughout the years. I love designing with intention, keeping my clients' lifestyle and style in mind, while adding fun touches to keep each design unique. My happy place is spending time at home with my husband, my two children (and a nice bottle of wine)!

Hi there, I am Jeanette

With over eight years of marketing and administration experience, my passion truly lies in helping people. I love being able to assist the amazing team at North & Madison in supporting their mission to beautify spaces and make people's lives happier and more comfortable in the process. At home, our seven year old twins and 5 year old keep us on our toes thus why I feel so lucky to call this amazing group of women and moms my home away from home.
