ZAC Collaborative

We’re excited to formally introduce Lindsey Luoma as part of the ZAC Collaborative team.

Lindsey brings more than two decades of experience in design and production across brand, print, packaging, fixtures, signage, publications, web, and e-commerce. With a background in both 2D and 3D design, she brings a strong combination of creative thinking, technical precision, and production knowledge to our work.

Her experience spans agency, in-house, and entrepreneurial environments, giving her a deep understanding of how to take complex ideas from concept through production while keeping the details, schedule, and final ex*****on on track.

Lindsey’s expertise includes production and prepress, signage and fixture design, packaging, publication and layout design, brand and collateral design, and detail-driven problem solving.

Outside the studio, you’ll likely find her exploring nature with her daughter and their Pomsky, Puff, or planning their next adventure.

We’re excited to have Lindsey on the ZAC team and looking forward to all that’s ahead.

One of our multifamily projects is opening in September, and we’re invited to the grand opening. Can’t wait!

Naturally, here’s a few visualizations of one of the most mundane signs on the property. 😂

Trust us, the rest of the place is absolutely GORGEOUS. 😍

When ZAC first opened, Dartmoor School trusted us to completely redesign their marketing, and that relationship has continued to grow ever since. Today, we manage their digital ad campaigns throughout the year, including these ParentMap publications, while also supporting their team with custom certificate holders, course selection schedules, registrar materials, campaign copywriting, and branded collateral. Our goal is to serve as an extension of their marketing team by organizing assets, housing materials, planning campaign rollouts, and creating a seamless process that allows every touchpoint to feel consistent, strategic, and on brand. We love partnering with clients who value long-term collaboration and thoughtful design.

More than a feature wall, this is the story of Chicago's Austin neighborhood.

Designed for ACT (Austin Coming Together), this installation celebrates the history of Chicago's Austin neighborhood while creating space for its future.

A graphic interpretation of the neighborhood's street grid, dimensional lettering featuring the transit map, and community displays come together to create more than artwork. They create a place for conversation, pride, and connection.

Best of all, the installation was designed to evolve. As Austin grows, so can the stories it tells.

Great placemaking isn't static. It grows with the community.

Still thriving. Feeling like we should make faces for that little guy. New mascot?!

Exploring ideas is an important part of the design process.

While developing a recent multifamily signage and wayfinding program, we sketched this monument sign concept to study scale, branding, and site presence at the property's main entrance. The project ultimately moved in a different direction, but we thought it was worth completing the visualization and sharing as a look at some of the early design exploration that happens before final decisions are made.

Not every idea moves forward, but every idea helps shape the solution.
