Lydia Pickett — Manager, Creative Services

Description of what your object is and why you chose it.
I chose this head vase to represent myself because she’s got vintage flair, lilly white skin and she’s just really cool!

Hobbies/Special interests
Old movies, art museums, local history, cruising around on old Schwinns and exploring new places.

Which person, alive or dead, do you find most inspiring and why?
Other than my mom and a few of my close friends who I find exceptionally inspirational, I’d have to say I really admire Frida Kahlo.  Frida was a bold and outspoken woman who turned her pain and tragedy into stunning works of art.  She had tons of character, wasn’t afraid to stand up for what she believed in and throughout her life she remained true to who she was and where she came from.

What role do you play here at Westminster?
I’m part department head, part project manager, part art director and 100% goofball.  I work with our clients, vendors and designers to make sure you get the highest quality creative, print and web products.  I help the creative team stay on track and make sure they’ve got everything they need to succeed.
