about lydia
Hi! I’m Lydia, the artist and designer behind Created By Lydia. I love turning ideas into modern, eye-catching visuals that feel both intentional and full of personality. My work blends clean, thoughtful design with expressive, hand-crafted lettering, creating pieces that are polished but still have a human touch. I’m based in Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri, and I’m always inspired by the creative spaces and people around me.
I actually started my design journey at age 12, teaching myself hand lettering. What began as a hobby quickly turned into something more, eventually leading me into digital design. Through that process, I developed a strong appreciation for typography, layout, and the details that make design truly work.
I later earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Arkansas State University, where I built a strong foundation in visual communication and design strategy across both print and digital platforms. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to bring ideas to life through freelance work, internships, and hands-on design roles. From leading projects from concept to completion for clients, to creating promotional graphics and social content during my internship at NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital, to working in a fast-paced production environment at Pink Ink Screen Printing, I’ve learned how to deliver thoughtful, effective design solutions under real-world conditions. I’ve also developed a passion for sports branding through my time working with the A-State Football creative team, creating bold, dynamic visuals that enhance team identity.
Outside of design, I’m always exploring new ways to create. I enjoy traveling, working with fiber arts, and spending time with family and friends. I’m drawn to anything that allows me to be creative and inspired, and those interests often influence my work in unexpected ways.
More than anything, I strive to reflect Christ in every aspect of my life, including my career. I value honesty, authenticity, kindness, service, and creativity, and I’m passionate about being part of environments that uplift, encourage, and support others. I believe design has the power to connect people, tell meaningful stories, and make a lasting impact.
I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations. Feel free to explore my work or reach out to start a conversation! I’d love to connect!
