Maddy Mara is the pen name of Melbourne-based creative duo Hilary
Rogers and Meredith Badger. Hilary and Meredith have been
collaborating on children's for nearly two decades. Hilary is an
author and former publishing director; Meredith is the author of
countless books for kids and young adults, and teaches English as a
foreign language. Maddy Mara is the melding of their respective
daughters' names.
Nomie grew up in a small coastal town of New-Brunswick, Canada,
surrounded by the ocean. Growing up, she told everyone she wanted
to become either a doctor, or a children's book illustrator. Midway
through med school, she decided she would do both. She now shares
her time between the hospital (where she works as a rheumatologist)
and her home studio, where she sketches, draws and paints
surrounded by her wife, son, two tiny Chihuahuas and two cats. She
works both digitally and traditionally, creating engaging
illustrations, usually with a funny twist!
