Lindsey Blakely
Freelance Illustrator and Graphic Designer
Raymond, WA, USAI believe that design needs to have a concept and tell a story, not simply look pretty. I provide my clients with illustrations, logos, posters, publications, and other print materials that have meaning behind the design.
Work Experience
Loopy Jayne
Illustrator, Graphic Designer, and Owner
Loopy Jayne is my freelance illustration and graphic design business. I provide illustration, branding, and print design services to companies of any size and in any location.
I also have a blog where I provide information on design, business, and finance to help millennials make money online.
Retail is the last part of my business. I have an Etsy Shop where I sell pre-made design templates for entrepreneurs who don't have the capital to invest in custom design yet. My second Etsy Shop is a line of women's activewear because health is very important for entrepreneurs and is often overlooked.

Loop Market
Co-Founder
Loop Market is an online hemp marketplace. We also have articles on the hemp industry and the products we carry. Our goal is to break the negative stigma associated with hemp. Hemp is not psychoactive and will not get you high, but it is an eco-friendly alternative to a number of materials.
I started this company with my husband and my tasks include branding, creating artwork for our line of t-shirts, writing blog posts, website design, social media management, and marketing.

The Silver Agency
Graphic Designer
The Silver Agency is a full-service advertising agency so I worked on a wide range of projects there. The agency's primary client is a car dealership with 7 locations so the bulk of my work was advertisements and branding materials for the dealerships. I also designed logos, publications, banners, brochures, rack cards, and other print materials.

La Muse Artist And Writers Retreat
Study Abroad Program
I went on this study abroad trip with seven other students and two professors from Central Washington University. We stayed at an artist and writers retreat where we learned about blogging from the owners of the retreat. We also learned about the French culture and saw architecture and artwork that I learned about in art history. It was amazing to see them in real life.
Throughout the trip, we worked on photography and writing projects. The program ended with an art show of all the students work in a studio at the retreat.
