Hello there! 👋🏽
Me llamo Isis.
✨ Isis Madrid is a writer, editor, award-winning journalist, podcast showrunner and creative strategist based in NYC (and sometimes LA). She is the founder of Pizza Shark Productions and owner of vintage clothing brand Rabbit Rabbit. ✨
WHO I AM
I'm Isis Madrid — an Executive Producer, Creative Strategist, and Writer based in New York City. I’m the founder of Pizza Shark Productions, and have led the development and production of award-winning podcasts like More Better, National Emergency and Don’t Ask Tig and consulted for organizations like Spotify, Audible and Campside Media.
With roots in journalism and documentary film and a deep love for storytelling, I work across formats to shape meaningful, high-impact narratives — from sharp editorial strategy to experimental audio, from global summit stages to fashion pop-ups in Brooklyn. I also co-run Rabbit Rabbit, a vintage project grounded in style, collaboration, and ~vibes~.
In another life, I worked on blockbuster + indie TV sets, led nonprofit PR, and once spent a summer on Maui as a permaculture farmer. I’m still chasing sun, stories, and making things that connect — with care, edge, and real editorial vision.
