After winning the 2022 Swim Search open casting call, Mady Dewey returned for this year’s marvelous SI Swimsuit feature in Puerto Rico with photographer Ben Watts.

The California native, who is the founder and CEO of metrics-free social media app Herd, shared the sweetest message on Instagram alongside a stunning pic of herself.

“AHHH! It’s @si_swimsuit launch day!!!!! ✨👙🫶🍾My Rookie shoot was one of the most special days of my life,” she wrote on magazine launch day on Monday. “It represents the power of letting go of fear and failure, and going after the dreams that ignite your soul. It shows years of work on self-love and body acceptance. It’s a reminder of the beauty in being multi-dimensional, embracing all of the sides of who you are and letting them shine brighter together.”

Dewey said she hopes that her SI Swimsuit feature is proof that women can be and do multiple things instead of fitting into narrow stereotypical boxes. She’s succeeding at her goals as a woman in tech and as a model. The Discord product marketing manager uses her platform to perpetuate the idea that there’s no limit to how many dreams or career paths you can have. 

“To be apart of SI Swim, a brand made up of powerhouse women, is the biggest honor. The teams commitment to empowering women of all backgrounds has truly changed my life, and I will be forever grateful!!
