I am Audrey Lingstuyl, a strategic designer & researcher infusing calm into design.
With a background in communications, semiotics, and interaction design, I have specialized in design strategy and research.
My journey, spanning 16 years, includes a Ph.D. focused on designing for calm, and extensive experience working across diverse sectors, from NGOs and government organizations to education, wellness, hospitality, retail, and the arts.
I am driven by a passion for designing meaningful change, creating innovative, calming, and healthier experiences.
I’ve had the opportunity to lead and contribute to numerous projects in various settings—creative agencies, freelancing, co-founding ventures, and in-house positions—gaining valuable insights along the way.
I love untangling complex problems and advocating for users. I thrive when collaborating with teams to design and develop thoughtful experiences that resonate on a personal level.
