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.
