In my happy place: Sipping coffee in the middle of nowhere, with a strong Wi-Fi connection.
Hi, I’m Lindsey.
My personality aligns closely with INFJ traits, which means I listens closely, think carefully, and create with intention.
For six years, I ran a birth photography business, where I learned to listen deeply and design projects that resonated with people’s needs. This taught me how to craft intuitive experiences based on human behavior. My unique expertise carries over and defines my approach as a UX/UI Designer—I thrive at the intersection of insight and intuition, where curiosity drives discovery, leading to design decisions that are functional and human. I work well in small to mid-size teams where understanding people fuels the mission. I’m also eager to grow in a remote/hybrid role designing impactful experiences.

Fun Facts About Me

🎵 I’m currently relearning the clarinet and was a big band nerd back in the day.
