Hey there, I'm Lindsey!
I am graphic designer with a love for thoughtful details, bold creativity, and a touch of country charm.
​
Originally from Redkey, Indiana, I'm now based in Muncie, where I I craft bold, intentional designs that blend strength with softness—like a well-worn pair of cowboy boots. I have a soft spot for packaging and book design-so much so that I'll buy something just because the design speaks to me (even if the product itself doesn't).
​
My design style? Think feminine, dreamy, and delicate -balanced with a little grit and confidence. Whether it's branding, storytelling, or packaging that turns heads, I love creating work that feels as strong as it looks.
​
When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me lifting heavy in the gym, cooking up something delicious in the kitchen, or unwinding with my favorite shows.
​
Let's create something bold, meaningful, and maybe even a little unexpected. ✨
Professional Summary

With a love for bold visuals and timeless aesthetics, my work is influenced by a sense of authenticity, storytelling, and a strong connection to my roots.
​
From branding to digital design, I’m driven by the idea that design should not only look good but also feel right—like the perfect pair of boots or a well-worn denim jacket. Whether creating visuals for social media, apps, or branding, I strive to craft designs that are both unique and grounded in something real.

Lindsey's Spotify Favorites
My music taste is somewhere between a whiskey-soaked honky tonk and a late-night drive with the windows down. It’s country grit, rock anthems, and hip-hop beats all rolled into one—think Morgan Wallen heartbreak ballads, Treaty Oak Revival outlaw energy, and Nickelback’s unapologetic dad-rock bangers. Whether it’s Zach Bryan for the soul, ASAP Rocky for the vibe, or Luke Combs for the beer-in-hand singalongs, my music fuels my creativity. Some tracks hit like a freight train of nostalgia, others keep me pushing forward, but they all help shape the work I create.
