Available to hire
Hi, I’m Linda Lee Lucas-Hunt, a graphic designer and illustrator with a long track record of creating visually engaging materials for government, publishing, and retail clients. I love turning complex ideas into clear, branded visuals and delivering polished work on tight timelines. My collaboration with Senators, museums, and design teams has sharpened my ability to communicate ideas visually and to manage varied production workflows from concept to print or digital distribution.
I’m always exploring new ways to tell stories through design, from newsletters and posters to social media graphics. I’m comfortable licensing copyrighted material and ensuring accuracy across platforms, and I bring a friendly, solution-focused approach to every project.
