After spending her formative years doodling logos and trying to find the perfect ampersand, Lindsey was destined to become a graphic designer. She enrolled in the joint degree program at the California College of the Arts and the University of San Francisco and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Since graduation, she has relocated from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon, and has worked with a variety of start-up companies and non-profits including SmartsCo, Off the Ground, Streetline, Edwards Educational Services, MediLogix, the National MS Society, Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, NAIL Distribution, Portland Piano International, Allegro Classical, and Water for People on numerous design projects. Lindsey’s passion is for print design, and her attention to detail, specifically her distaste for double spaces and her quest to rid the world of typographic widows and orphans, has earned her rave reviews among her coworkers and clients. When she manages to get some time away from Adobe’s Creative Suite, you can find her biking or working in the yard of the 1950s bungalow she recently purchased in NE Portland.
