I'm Lin Zagorski (Zah-gore-ski). I'm an independent designer and illustrator, born and raised here, in Austin, Texas.  I've been drawing and doodling constantly since as long I can remember, but in a pivotal moment, my dad surprised me with a copy of Photoshop when I was twelve.  This sparked a life-long enchantment with technology and visual design.

I'm fortunate to have a diverse set of experiences working in large and small advertising agencies, newspaper bullpens, magazines, technology agencies, and have also helped up-and-coming businesses grow their brands. 

When I'm not making stuff, you'll probably find me rasslin' my dogs, rooting for the Longhorns, brewing the perfect cup of coffee, or discovering new and innovative ways to enjoy Hatch green chiles.

I'm always looking for great partners to collaborate on projects. Give me a holler!

Has this summer flown by, or is it just me? Work has really picked up over the last couple of months and my wedding is just around the corner! I carved out some time over the long weekend to paint this scene. I still have about five canvases sitting in my studio that I need to paint ASAP! I had an amazing time at my bachelorette party in Boulder this weekend! Thanks to my amazing friends @tracynhennessy @chloejanemade and my baby sis @lisazagorski for making the experience so magical. I am so thankful for all of you!! My high school art teacher used to say "portraits are like magic". Most of my freelance work day-to-day ends up more abstract and vectorized in Illustrator, but I feel strongly that keeping my more "traditional" skills in shape gets the best results for my clients. Quick warm-ups like these help get me "in the zone" for client work. Happy #FreelanceFriday! Here's an unused mark for a branding project I just wrapped up. This is based on the Rajah Brooke's Birdwing, one of my favorite species of butterfly. Is Freelanciversary a word? It should be. Y'all.... I can't believe it's already been a year! It's flown by so fast. This time last year, I was wrapping up my first full day of freelancing. It's no cake walk, and I still have a lot to learn, but I'm grateful I've come this far getting to do what I love.  I thought I'd celebrate with a little #shelfie and some brush lettering. PS — I'm accepting new clients for the summer! HMU if you need some designs and illustration lovin'. This is Pancho, he's a sombrero-clad iguana you can take your photo with for a small price. He didn't have a guitar with him but I'd like to think he plays while contemplating life from a rocky throne in the ocean.
Can't wait to marry this dude in October 💐 What designer doesn't fantasize about getting to design their own wedding stationary one day?? I wanted these to reflect our personalities and so I decided to keep it warm and sophisticated with hand lettering and some loose illustration. 🖋 I had SOO much fun incorporating the @thegreenhouse_driftwood unique desert flora for my save-the-dates! 🌵🌿. Big thanks to @wkndpress for printing these so lovingly and nerding out with me about letterpress in the process!! All this wedding stuff is starting to feel real! It’s my birthday today and I’m celebrating with some sketching, espresso, and Topo Chico in the studio!!! Also, the bathroom renovation begins today and I'm ✨really✨ excited about it.
