Lindsey is a graduate of CCM - University of Cincinnati's MFA program in Stage Design and Berry College's BA program in Theatre (Design / Tech). She began working professionally at the Hangar Theatre, first as a design apprentice (2015) and then as a Design Fellow (2017). During the summer of 2018, she worked as Brevard Summer Music Festival's scenic charge artist and scenic designer. Following her 2019 graduation from CCM, Lindsey accepted a full-time scenic artist position at Live! Technologies / Iacono Productions, where she worked until being laid-off during the height of the Covid Pandemic. She took this loss, however, as an opportunity and chose to move to NYC to pursue work as a freelance designer.
Once relocated, Lindsey took on the position of Lead Designer at the up and coming, now award-winning, immersive escape room company, Doors of Divergence. Her role there has been multi-faceted, entailing that she function as scenic designer, charge artist, propsmaster, and project manager, while also fulfilling an artistic coordination position for the company at large. Since joining the team in June 2021, Lindsey has helped Doors of Divergence design and open two multi-room, immersive escape-shows, Heresy: 1897 and Madness: 1917, as well as the attached, immersive bar space, the Paradox Lounge. Lindsey's work for Doors of Divergence helped net Heresy: 1897 the 2022 Bullseye Award for Best Overall Immersive Experience and Madness: 1917 the 2023 REA Golden Lock Award for Immersive Excellence and the 2022 Bullseye Award for Best Cooperative Game.
2024 - 2025 promises Doors of Divergence's final installment in the Paradox Cycle, Causality: 1971, but in the interim Lindsey continues to pursue scenic design opportunities across the country. Her next upcoming project will be All My Sons at the theatre where she started her professional journey, Berry College Theatre Company.
During her time in educational theatre, Lindsey was the 3rd place winner of the 2018 SETC Graduate Scenic Design Competition and recipient of the 2018 SETC Ready to Work Award. In 2016 she was also the 1st place winner of the SETC Undergraduate Scenic Design Competition and 2nd place winner in the KCACTF Region IV SETC/David Weiss Award for Scenic Design Excellence. A number of her designs have also been nominated for the KCACTF Barbizon Award for Theatrical Design Excellence in Scenery.
