As a designer and developer of 10+ years, I am a problem-solver who executes with efficiency and empathy. I serve as a consultant to the client and advocate for the consumer. My professional passion is working with clients to discover the best solution for their needs and ushering them through the execution of their direction. Additionally, I love a challenge. I thrive in an environment that allows me to learn new things and put them into practice.

I am a co-founder for Activate Conference, a local yearly conference that teaches young adults about the career opportunities in the interactive design and development field.

Lynsey has a very professional approach to getting projects completed on time. Her creativity and ability to see things differently are an amazing asset. Her "Do it right the first time" attitude is infectious. I would be honored and privileged to work with Lynsey again in the future.
