HELLO HUNNY,
HELLO HUNNY,
Straight from the tortured designers department.
Hi! I’m Lindsay!
I’m a graphic and brand designer from Portland, OR, and I love telling stories.
My passion for design started in high school at the ‘lil age of 15, when I downloaded a free trial of Adobe Photoshop 7. Countless school nights were spent staying up until sunrise, teaching myself the tricks and tools of the program. I devoured tutorials on LiveJournal blogs, as YouTube wasn’t quite as popular yet. 👀
I’m grateful to have begun my professional journey with a monumental brand like Nike, which propelled my skills and career, opening many doors for me over the years.
Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to collaborate with a diverse range of clients, ranging from small businesses to startups and large corporations. My approach revolves around crafting bold, eye-catching designs that leave an impression and breathe life into brands in memorable ways.
Feeling the constant pressure to be creatively exceptional can weigh heavily on artists. It's an unspoken expectation that we must continually produce brilliance, which can be exhausting. I've grappled with burnout, battled self-doubt, and confronted imposter syndrome more times than I care to count.
Through my own experiences of uncertainty and turmoil, I've come to understand that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength. I aspire to be a source of support for fellow creatives who may be struggling or feeling isolated in their challenges. My online presence serves as a reminder that imperfection is an art and that it's perfectly fine not to have all the answers.
