My very first word and an early indicator to the person I would grow up to be: a welcomer, a collaborator, an initiator, a knowledge seeker, an ideator. 

That being said… Hello! My name is Madison Dempster. I am currently a California expat living in London. I started my journey here with a one-year masters program in Luxury Brand Management at Regents University. There, I investigated the intersection of sustainability and luxury hospitality, and for my thesis, created a formula for luxury hospitality brands to achieve “long-lasting luxury.” I also spent the last six months of the year working as a marketing coordinator for Belmond Trains and Cruises. It was in this interdisciplinary role of assisting across all areas of marketing, where I discovered my passion for creative ideation, research, and management.  

As I have begun the next chapter of my life in London, I have set out on my own venture to create Sojourn Studio, for which I carry the title of “Creative Docent.” This title signifies my position as someone who has advanced beyond novice stages in my craft, though not yet a master. I am an idea generator, with a strong understanding of the creative process, and the ability to manage creative resources across multiple communication mediums. As the Creative Docent of Sojourn Studio, my mission is to help companies and brands within the luxury hospitality industry to execute on time, on budget, and on quality.
