Richard Lindsay
Richard Lindsay’s professional career in the design industry began in 1989. Over a short period of time, Richard grew to become lead designer for some of Sydney’s most respected design houses, where he creatively directed many large events both locally and offshore.
At the age of 24, Richard and his former partner launched their company Atomic Communications, a high profile agency, and enjoyed much success over a busy five-year period from 1994 to 1999. Whilst Atomic’s client list boasted an impressive collection of Australian blue-chip companies, it had an equally strong reputation internationally. Atomic designed and created many events within the US, including an international conference for Sheraton Hotels in Madison Square Gardens.
Atomic grew to a sustainable size of 20 full-time staff in less than two years.
Today Richard is Head of Creative for the Sydney based company Spinifex Group, where he has been for the past 10 years. Several key members from the Atomic team joined Richard at Spinifex, and now play a vital role in the company’s direction and success. Spinifex is one of Australia’s largest design and event companies, and is renowned for its unique award winning creative communications.
Richard has creatively lead some of the world largest events, from high-end corporate clients to international spectaculars. Recent projects include the -2010 Shanghai World Expo Opening Ceremony, Vancouver Winter Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies, 2008 FIFA world conference and the Beijing Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.
