Hello, I’m Maddy Odom

I collaborate with travel, hospitality and lifestyle brands to build transportive worlds through strategy, editorial storytelling and creative direction.

Based in Paris, I work with boutique hotels, travel companies, and lifestyle brands to create cohesive worlds grounded in the senses, shaped by story and place. With a background co-founding two startups in the travel and events space, and writing and photography published in Travel + Leisure, YOLO Journal, and Mr & Mrs Smith, I bring strategic clarity alongside an editorial eye. I also write a weekly Substack newsletter, Slow Sailing, exploring places, perspectives, and ways of living well.

SLOW SAILING ON SUBSTACK

An exploration of places, perspectives and ways of living well—written weekly from Paris.
