Linda Zacks is an award-winning creative, artist, and writer.

She rarely takes an assignment at face value. Give her a painting and she might see a campaign.
Give her a brand and she might see a book, a product, an installation…
or something that wasn’t on the list at all.

Her work is part paint, part poetry, part problem-solving. Everything is usable.
Fine art feeds commercial work. Personal projects become ideas for brands.
One thing leads to another.

Sometimes Linda gets the assignment. Often she expands it. Usually she invents it.

Hire her for JUST the ideas…or the whole shebang.

The best time to bring her into a project is before you know exactly what you need.
