"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill
Lindsey Marshall is the bright mind behind Swink Creative Solutions. She’s as proud of her credentials as a graphic designer as she is of her commitment to her community.
Lindsey is passionate about helping small businesses learn to market themselves. Lindsey has seen firsthand the effects of business owners who pay for the wrong type of marketing for their business or who spend too much money and get too little result from hiring multiple vendors to help with marketing efforts.
This led Lindsey to start Swink Creative Solutions, a part-time enterprise that allows her to educate and help small business owners create a consistent and memorable brand message.
Education and Experience ...........................................
Lindsey has two associate’s degrees and a world of experience in branding, marketing and graphic design. She knows how to effectively build and run websites, design billboards, create store signage, design logos and create effective marketing brochures.
Her varied experience has allowed her to work with a number of local vendors and establish solid relationships with them that not all local graphic designers and marketing experts have. Best of all, she knows which vendor to call for a specific project, allowing her to craft just the right marketing materials for each client.
Entrepreneurial Spirit ..................................................................................................
Lindsey isn’t just playing around in the business pool. She comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and is proud to think that some of that spirit rubbed off on her. She always has a few little projects going on and has turned passion for her hobby into this part-time business.
To prepare for effectively leading her own company, Lindsey has completed a “Become an Entrepreneur” workshop offered by Central Community College and she’s a proud member of the Hall County Leadership Tomorrow Alumni Association.
Community Involvement ...............................................................................................
She’s passionate about her work, but equally passionate about community. Lindsey believes strongly in giving back to the community and her list of volunteer work is nearly as long as her list of professional work.
She has worked on a number of local boards by providing her marketing and graphic design expertise to help events successfully raise awareness and money for worthy charities. She has donated bone marrow and she’s also successfully organized bone marrow drives. This is a cause she strongly believes in.

Like most entrepreneurs, Lindsey understands that if you don’t have balance, all the hard work isn’t worth much. Lindsey enjoys working on her personal business (the one you’re’ reading about here) as a hobby as much as a business, but she also enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
She looks forward to bringing her passion to your business project.
