“Lindsey is a unique and innovative Graphic Designer and such a pleasure to work with. Over the past 3+ years, I have been impressed with Lindsey’s creativity, design skills and quick project turnaround times. Lindsey can take a concept/brief and bring it to life in the most visually pleasing manner – and never once will you question if the work will be delivered on time.
One thing that sets Lindsey apart, is her ability to combine trends with innovation to create assets that resonate with the target audience. Whether the asset utilizes licensing, is focused on a highly regulated product, or is an innovation idea with no tangible product, Lindsey is going to wow you with an asset that gain buy-in from consumers and other stakeholders.
Lindsey not only speaks “Designer Language,” but she is also a great collaborator with Cross Functional Partners. She takes everyone through the creative process and makes sure their expectations are exceeded. She encourages questions and works to anticipate pain points so she can come with solutions before the pain point happens.
I highly recommend Lindsey for any creative design work. She is a talented Graphic Designer who will not only be an asset to a Creative Team, but she has so much to offer inside and outside of traditional creative roles!”
— Allison A. Sanders, Senior Brand Manager at The Mentholatum Company
“Lindsey is an amazing graphic designer! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her on several projects from concepting, packaging design, and digital assets over the last year and a half.
At the beginning of every project, she asks all the right questions to make sure she has a thorough understanding of the task but also the audience, context, and overall strategy for the project. This helps her go above and beyond the request to create designs that resonate with intended audiences. Specifically when it came to refreshing a legacy brand, Lindsey created concepts that outperformed the control in terms of purchase interest, effectiveness, and uniqueness.
She has a wonderful pulse on packaging trends as well as printing techniques. She uses this knowledge to propose enhancements to packaging that I would never even think of.
Lindsey’s passion comes through in every project she works on and she always meets deadlines and exceeds expectations. I can’t recommend Lindsey enough!”
— Kathy Kloc, Assistant Marketing Manager at The Mentholatum Compnay
“In the past three years that I have had the pleasure of working with her, Lindsey has continually demonstrated her mastery of balancing beauty and strategy in every design she has created for our brands. She listens carefully, respectfully pushes back when needed (we brand folks can sometimes unclearly ask the impossible), and nails deadlines with outstanding design work every single time. As a colleague, Lindsey is a delight. She is sweet and kind and hardworking and always manages her workflows in a way that gets everyone what they need and want with a smile.
I cannot recommend Lindsey highly enough. Her work is innovative, bold, and always on-brand, pushing the boundaries and expectations of what is possible for us. 10/10 recommend!”
— Jen Zielinski, Marketing Director at The Mentholatum Company
“Lindsey and I have worked together for the last year and a half on multiple brands underneath the Mentholatum umbrella. She is skilled in packaging design, branding, social media content creation, photography, and all things visual design. In our time working together, she has proven to absorb the needs of our brands, and generate visual solutions with creativity and cohesiveness. I have seen her work through challenges with tenacity to find solutions to ever-evolving marketing plans. Lindsey is always on time with her work, loops her colleagues in on design decision-making, and keeps the consumer and/or retail customer in mind first. She knows how to get a product to stand out on shelf!
Not only is Lindsey a skilled designer, she goes the extra mile to meet the needs of her team. She is a wonderful colleague and a light to those around her every day. I met Lindsey on my first day at TMC and she had me in tears laughing as she on-boarded me. She makes even mundane work fun. She is the definition of a joy to be around; any organization can be considered very lucky enough to have her on the team.”
— Mackenzie Bathgate, Sr. Visual Designer at The Mentholatum Company
“Lindsey is very creative and brings great graphic concepts to life as a Senior Graphic Designer. She constantly challenges the status quo, and provides unique perspectives, always with great collaboration and keeping and open mind to feedback.
Lindsey brought great graphic design work into market within packaging graphics and / or advertising executions for Rohto Cooling Eye Drops, OXY Acne Medication and Phisoderm Skincare, among other brands.
I truly enjoyed working with Lindsey, not only because she led and materialized exciting creative paths, but also because she was an example of bringing to work great human values and a caring collaborative spirit!”
— Eric Estrada , Former Senior Director, Head of Marketing at The Mentholatum Company
“Lindsey was a great asset to our team. She easily navigated style guides from Brands and Licensors to produce artwork that stands apart from the competition. Her cheerful attitude was always appreciated and allowed her to be effective under the tight deadlines our busy season. She knows the Adobe Suite inside and out and was regularly interested in learning any new programs we’ve added to the team’s arsenal.
Lindsey’s skill in illustration allowed her to create an impressive range of options for our non-licensed product packaging. Her creative explorations and interests outside of the office in things like typography, were also valuable contributors to the work she composed.
Lindsey’s approach to her projects was consistently creative. She remained open to the ideas of others and had a willingness to try new directions. Changes requested on her projects were quickly handled and with a great attitude. Lindsey was willing to help others with projects, even in production design and samples making - areas that she would not normally working in within her assigned duties. I highly recommend Lindsey for all your creative projects. She will be an asset to any creative team.”
— Veronica Whitton, Creative Services Manager at Frankford Candy LLC

She was also helpful in retouching photographs and supervising photo shoots. Lindsey was able to work with some of the major Licensing companies, including Walt Disney, Nickelodeon, and Mattel.

I highly recommend Lindsey for all your creative needs. ”

From clients:
“Lindsey was amazing to work with! Not only did she do a fantastic job with custom calligraphy for my wedding invitations, but she also was so caring and thorough to make sure my vision came to light. I could tell throughout working with Lindsey that she doesn’t only care about the work, she cares about her customers - which meant so much to me! I had to postpone my wedding to 2021, so I will definitely be asking Lindsey to help with more invitations and a few more projects during this year. Stop looking for other calligraphers/graphic designers!! Lindsey is your girl to help make your wedding as special as it can be! ”
