While born and raised in Richmond, designer and strategist Lloyd Young traveled to Olympia, Washington’s Evergreen State College for a photography degree. After working professionally in New York, she returned to Richmond, attended graduate school at VCU for interior architecture, and then had her “ah-ha” moment. It was the images and branding that moved her – not always the process. Over a few years of freelance work, she connected with several Fortune 500 companies through projects with The Mom Complex and Richmond’s Martin Agency. To keep fresh, she designs a logo a day (check out her instagram, @logoperday). She’s a parent to Paco, a loving pit bull mix, a friend to all whales, and sworn enemy to all jellyfish. And, yes, Lloyd is a girl’s name.

Listening. A designer must learn to listen to and observe the obvious tension we are surrounded by in order to imagine and create an effective solution.
