She graduated in 1966, with a bachelor's degree, from the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. After graduating she worked in Cincinnati, at Space Design, while her husband Lynn Maddox was in graduate school. She moved to Indiana looking for other design opportunities. Space Design allowed her to create interior designs for any client she was able to find. [1] She moved to Chicago, IL in 1970 and worked as a project director at Richmond, Manhoff + March, which was then one of the cities largest interior firms. [3] Shortly after she took a position at an architecture firm, Meister & Volpe (1971). In 1992 she was inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame. [4] In 1994 she cofounded Archeworks with architect Stanley Tigerman. Archeworks is a socially oriented design laboratory and multidisciplinary school. [5] In 2002 she merged with Perkins + Will and became a design principle. [3] On February 1, 2016 Maddox announced that she is retiring from Perkins + Will.

Upon earning her bachelor's degree in 1966, Maddox began her design career in Cincinnati, Ohio. She worked at an architecture firm, Space Design.

[1] She moved to Chicago in 1970, and received a position as project director at Richmond, Manhoff, + March, which at the time was one of the largest interior firms in the city. [3] During this time she wanted to reconnect with an architecture firm, in order to connect the interior design with the architectural structure.
