Tim Madle - Landesberg Design

Tim approaches design as an ongoing conversation between strategy, language, and form. His work begins with thoughtful questions and translates complex challenges into ideas that feel clear and human. Steady and collaborative, he builds systems that are intelligent, intuitive, and alive — finding moments to surprise and delight, and always looking to learn as much as he leads.

Before joining Landesberg, Tim partnered with civic and cultural organizations in Washington, D.C. — including the Smithsonian, the Human Rights Campaign, NPR, and The Washington Ballet. Today he shapes brand, digital, and editorial initiatives for clients such as the University of Pennsylvania, United Way, The Pittsburgh Foundation, the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and Riverlife.

A graduate of Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Tim’s work has been featured in Communication Arts, Print, and Brand New, and honored by D&AD, AIGA, The One Club for Creativity, the Art Directors Club, and the Society of Publication Designers.
