Hello!
I’m Lindsay. But seeing as there are 823 ways to spell Lindsay, I tend to go by LJ. Either works. I was born and raised in Kansas, where I picked up my Midwestern sensibilities and exemplary palate for barbecue sauce.
Before advertising, I wanted to be in advertising. And before that, I wanted to be the next Steve Irwin.
I like to make people happy and I like to be creative. My goal is to always do both.
Fun facts: I draw every day. I’m scuba certified. Claymation is terrifying. I was a competitive horseback rider for most of my life, and I’m still working to fix the ‘weird horse girl‘ stereotype.
