Welcome to an enlightening episode where we are privileged to introduce Lindsey Witmer Collins, the visionary founder behind the application design agency WLCM (pronounced as ‘welcome’). Prepare to be captivated as Lindsey guides us through her incredible journey into becoming a Product Designer and from there founding her own agency – from humble beginnings with a single app over a decade ago to the monumental achievement of contributing to the creation of more than 100 apps to date.
Our exploration takes a thrilling turn as we delve into Joy Labs, an inspiring response born out of the shadows of the Russian invasion. We focus on the need to create things that will inspire joy. Brace yourselves for an unexpected twist as we uncover how this initiative gave rise to a delightfully entertaining children’s app that centers around the humorous topic of flatulence – yes, you read that correctly! Lindsey has a unique story, so you won’t want to miss this!
