LINDSAY ALEXANDER

DESIGNER

I have enjoyed making Art from an early age, even doodling on my parents brand new wallpaper in 1996. Today, I solve design problems day in and day out, whether on a screen or a printed piece of paper. I am a classically trained graphic designer with a passion for transforming language into powerful messages. With a fundamental background in Art History and Business, I have a unique approach to design with a goal of using visual impact to generate action. Also, I can code.
