Clearly, my cool factor peaked at 4

Howdy! I’m Lindsay a hands-on creative leader who loves solving business problems with bold, strategic ideas. I mentor and grow teams, roll up my sleeves to make work from soup to nuts, and collaborate across functions to turn creative risk into measurable results. Organized, PM-minded, and unafraid of spreadsheets, I pair creative vision with business rigor to build culture, win client impact, and get things done. Awards? Sure I’ve won them. Built brands from scratch, id systems and all? Yup. Business results from my work? A must every time. Web design? For sure. 360 campaigns? Bread and butter. Social? Not just my sandbox but my playground. B2B? That’s just knowing how to pivot your strategy and approach to better fit the target market which is table stakes for great creative-so yes. Have another specific challenge? Toss it to me! Creative problem solving is what I do above all else.

    There isn’t a room in my house that doesn’t have a DIY piece or project 

  • Most are 90% finished; Rarely do they hit 100

I don’t know how to sit still. My idea of downtime is DIYing, photographing food, painting or chasing two crazy boys. Oh and I co-owned a catering business and a restaurant with my chef husband until 12/2024. So that was a fun little creative playground-and too much to handle! Now we just cook for friends.

Come on over and grab a bite to eat and let’s talk ads.
