ABOUT ME

GRAPHIC DESIGN EXPERIENCE
HELLO! I'M LINDSAY ZOGAS. I am a graphic designer, project manager, and event planner with logo, packaging, print, and production design experience. I'm a lover of white space, clean typography, and tacos.

When I'm not behind the computer screen, I'm spending time with my two sons and husband, testing out a Paleo-friendly recipe, flipping through the latest West Elm catalog, and dreaming of ways to cover all of my belongings in gold foil. And perhaps enjoying a taco.
