About me

My love affair with Retail began many years ago. And in 2014 I jumped at the chance to join Aquent and contribute to the Retail team's mission. Nothing is better than helping our Retail Hiring Leaders reach their goals faster and more efficiently. And at the same time, matching our Creative, Marketing & Technical talent with career-boosting opportunities at the world's largest brands. Staffing and outsourcing needs are often driven by complex issues, so everyday brings the opportunity to learn more and use that knowledge to help people reach their goals. I strive to understand my clients' needs on the industry, company, team and personal level. And I appreciate the trust clients extend in sharing their needs and challenges around capacity and expertise.

Testimonials

Lindsay, by far one of the best Design recruiters I've had the pleasure of working with. Whenever my team has a need in the bay area she's my first go to. She always has a pipeline of new talent, who are top notch! I never worry about quality of their work or if the portfolio is in line for Lindsay leaves no rock undiscovered. Lindsay is an excellent communicator, asks the right questions, not just any question. She is one of the top recruiters in our agency that I know I can always count on. Point in case. I was visiting my Hotwire client and got off the phone with them regarding an order for a Sr. UX Designer, and all I had to do was ask, Lindsay had her new talent packaged and ready for me to submit. The talent got an immediate interview via Skype and was hired for the role! That's how awesome she is. I'd highly recommend Lindsay to any of my Fortune 500 + Clients! You ROCK! DBT Sapiens
Lindsay was my agent when I worked on a contract through Aquent. A pleasure to work with, she was always responsive and often went beyond the call of duty to help. I hope I can work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to any designer looking for a new role or employer looking to hire a designer. Gretchen DeGlopper
Lindsay recruited me for a contract position as a visual designer through Aquent. I had never been through this process before and she made it very easy. I always felt like she was my advocate, proactively keeping in touch with both me and my manager regularly. I know she works with a lot of contractors other than me, but she was always available to answer questions and provide support. She was a delight to work with. Lauren Smith
