ABOUT

To collect little details and references of a brand or concept and create something custom and well thought-out, gives me tingles in my belly. Hi there I am Lindsey, an Amsterdam based visual designer and illustrator. Good friends call me Linds but before that I would like to give you a proper introduction. 

 

Even though my home town Almere was close to Amsterdam, I moved there when I was 19 years old to study. In 2012 I graduated from Communication and Multimedia Design at HVA with a Minor in Television Studies. As a student I was always eager to learn more and know everything about everything. Because of this I have a wide skill set within the spectrum of multi media design. This didn't change throughout the years. Most of my graphic skills are self-taught as well as drawing. I think it is a good thing, because it made me determined and confident about what I can. Since 2008 I worked on my relationship with the Adobe collection and we have been  BFFs ever since.

 

I am a creative at heart and therefore my brain never stands still. Creating concepts for brand activation or a custom design is something I really love. With my personal approach and fast mind it is easy for me to connect the dots. Idea's going back and forth like the speed of light. 

 

Collaborating with big brands and organisations gave me te experience to be accurate, punctual and push my boundaries. Also working with 3 laser machines and vector files for almost 7 years I developed a great eye for detail.

 

During my working career I found myself being a leader and teacher. I experienced a lot of joy in guiding interns and leading projects. Having a background in programming and a big love for technique I know how to switch between the creatives and the nerds. By knowing people’s needs (employees and customers) and working together, I achieved some pretty cool stuff. Like automating the design processes at Uncover Lab’s online customisation tool.

 

My strength as a designer is being a real team player. Taking my time to get to know colleagues  and clients with a serious conversation or a funny joke. Humor is one of the greatest motivators on the office floor I think. Besides working hard off course!
