Hi there! I’m Cindy (aka Cynthia).
I only do my own graphic stunts.
Who I Am
I’m a graphic designer based in the heart of the Midwest. I love experimenting with typography, brand guidelines, and all things digital media.
I bring together 10 years or so of experience, a great eye, creative problem solving, and a penchant for project management to my process. With a background in linguistics, I am passionate about the power of language in marketing, communications, and in day-to-day life.
What I Feel Inspired By
Thrifting, traveling, walks around town, films, caffeine, screen prints, artists on Instagram, a delicious loaded order of french fries

Testimonial
“Cindy is an incredible artist, thinker, and collaborator. I always felt comfortable exploring possibilities in meetings with Cindy, knowing she would be able to decipher my non-designer language and help me determine what it was I actually wanted.
She is a reliable and kind team member who cares deeply about people — something that can't be taught and is, therefore, an invaluable asset in an employee, co-worker, and leader.”
