Companies that become a we are always started by an I.

Hi, I’m Lydia, the Owner/Founder/Chief Of All-The-Things at Telltale®.

And all of that? It adds up to being a Creative Director. I was built to do this, and I'm so glad I realized that. Like you, I used to do a little bit of everything. I was the strategist, the designer, the developer, and sometimes even the copywriter (bless). 

The more clients I worked for, the more I realized that the magic happens when we all stay in our zone of genius. For me, that's Creative Direction.

Team work makes the dream work.

I’m the only full-time gal, but I’ve spent years building relationships with trusted creatives who help on almost every project. 

We collaborate with every client, from the moment we sign a contract. It’s a team effort, all the time. Actually, my favorite projects are when I get to be part of a team for months or years. I embrace the opportunity to see a brand through every season. I have helped pick out wallpaper for a hair salon. I’ve planned, styled, and directed more photoshoots than I can count.

And almost every client has had me create new offers and pricing for their business.

 
 
 
 

Weirdest talent … Knows the entire Parent Trap handshake by heart.

Favorite read as of late … Remarkably Bright Creatures. Read it and thank me later.

Coffee preferences ... Iced with a splash of oatmilk, no sugar.

Favorite non-work hobby ... Scuba-diving with my grandmother.

Will wait in long lines for … A John Mayer concert, any day of the week.

Food Aversion: Tomatoes. Nope.

 The Bigger Picture

At Telltale, we try to see the bigger picture—we stand here because of those who’ve gone before us. And we want to be a part of that same motion for those who will follow. 

We donate a portion of every project to organizations that we believe are doing deep soul work and we annually donate a minimum of one pro bono project (please email us if you’d like to apply on behalf of your organization!).

 
 
 
 

“I hired Telltale because Lydia seemed like she had her shit together! She was super organized from the beginning and her entire team was extremely prompt, creative, and super accommodating.”
