Lynette Sesler
art director // designer

 I'm an Etch A Sketch kind of girl.

Two things I learned very young…One, my Etch A Sketch could take me just about anywhere I wanted to go creatively, and two, never hound your sister into trimming your bangs when she’s “not in the mood.” The bangs have grown out, but I never grew out of loving the creative freedom that came with my Etch A Sketch. And when Mom told me to do my math homework, I figured doing another paint by numbers was undoubtedly what she meant. Maybe I got a little lost in the translation there, but my early introduction into the world of design was where I found the passion for what I was born to do.

Now with 30 years of experience in design and creative direction, plus a portfolio of award-winning work for a wide range of high-profile clients, it still amazes me how much fun I have every day. There’s nothing like seeing where a new idea takes you. Just like the old Etch A Sketch used to do. For me, it’s an emotional connection that speaks to my very soul. And from where I’m sitting, that pretty much says it all.
