PASSIONS THAT BENEFIT MY CLIENTS
- Nothing is too big a challenge – Joining the Peace Corps and traveling to Central Asia to learn a new language (Kyrgyz) and way of living stretched my comfort and expanded my capabilities
- Giving Back – Volunteering my design services for non-profits and organizations in need keeps my heart and mind happy while improving the lives of the community around me
- Words to Live By – “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
- Energized – When not designing, Lindsey can be found alongside her three children with s’mores around the campfire, at the local skate rink, or in tubes on the Potomac – sparking creative energy and ideas for her next design project
