Not your typical MBA – Hello! My name is Lindsay, I am a seasoned professional with over 10 years of industry experience in commercial photography and videography. Currently, I am thriving as an On-set Photo 2D & 3D Stylist at WebstaurantStore, where I have the privilege of building and styling captivating restaurant-themed environments. Collaborating with a talented team of photographers, videographers, food stylists, fellow set stylists, and 3D rendering artists fuels my passion for creating visually stunning content.
Before my current role, I honed my skills both as a photo art director and as a photo stylist in a fast-paced photography production studio, catering to diverse e-commerce fashion clients. My academic background in Fashion Merchandising further enhances my ability to curate impactful stories through the art of styling photography.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm a true creative at heart. I find joy in delving into various interests, including sewing, the esoteric & Magickal world, and, of course, cats, I have 3!
Personality-wise, I am an ENFP Campaigner, driven by my enthusiasm for connecting with others and exploring new possibilities. In the DISC profile, I identify as an IS Counselor, bringing empathy and insight to my interactions.
On a personal growth journey, I am certified as a Lemurian Light Healer. I also recently achieved my Usui Reiki 1 Certification.
Let's connect and explore opportunities to collaborate and create meaningful experiences together!
