WHO’s LYNS?
SUP.
I hate talking about myself…
Born and raised in Rockland NY to Haitian immigrants, my name is Lyns Descardes and I am currently a Senior Art Director livin my best life in Brooklyn NY.
Outside of pushing pixels and pushing brands to get out of their comforts zones, you can find me:
People watching in front of a nice Brooklyn sunset.
Crossing people up at a nearby basketball court (jk I suck)
Shooting some nature photography around the city.
Nodding my head at a really good DJ set.
Curating my oh so many Spotify playlists because music is my DNA (fun fact: I accumulate 300k+ hours of minutes listened on Spotify Wrapped every year 🙃)
