About Me
Hello,
I am Lindsey Shepherd, a visual designer with more than ten years of experience turning complex problems into thoughtful and elegant solutions. I am passionate about creating human-centered design experiences that are fully functional and beautiful.
When I’m not designing I love hitting the greenways around my neighborhood with oddball non-fiction audiobooks, cuddling with my cat Furgusun, reading a good book or stepping into the kitchen to bake delicious desserts.
