Lynda Van Duerm has over 16 years of professional design experience. Three years ago she left the corporate world to start her own firm, where influencing every point of contact a brand has with the public is the key objective. Her client base is growing, and she's done work for Luxury Portfolio, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, RGL Marketing for the Arts, PEP Industries, The Odeum and WellCare.

Prior to forming Van Duerm Design, Lynda worked for small design firms and eventually landed at Cramer Krasselt Adverting. At Cramer, she created brand programs, direct mail initiatives, logos/corporate identities, billboards, collateral systems, graphic standards, packaging and websites for some great clients. These include The Art Institute of Chicago, CareeerBuilder.com, Cellular South, Citibank, CNA Insurance, Diners Club, GE Trans Leasing, Hyatt Hotels, Kemper Financial Services, LaQuinta Inns & Suites, LaSalle Bank, Popeye's Chicken, Schwinn, SmartOnes and VanKampen Funds.
