Linda is a diligent organizer who is excited by creativity and producing marketing communications that work. Juggling multiple projects like its second nature, she has a sixth sense when it comes to reaching audiences and brand messaging.

Linda has worn many hats: art director, marketing communications manager, production coordinator, and humanitarian. She has supported start-ups, non-profits, and corporations. She has designed dinnerware, packaging, beauty products, logos, coffee brands, CD cases, billboards, vehicle wraps, web and social media assets, and more.

Her charismatic personality and eagerness to help allows her to develop and maintain positive relationships with clients, vendors, and staff. She inspires team work that exudes excellence, integrity, and creativity.

Linda loves celebrating people, art, and music. When she's not working, she paints, shoots photos, plays the guitar, sings, and composes songs. She has produced and managed events and musicians in America and East Africa.

Linda is driven by her passion to live a life of purpose and balancing joy with seriously thorough work. She wants to make an impact for good in her work—create something "big", build great teams, learn something, improve the world and finish well.
