Hi, I’m Lindsey, a plus size, wicked smaht New Englander (accent available upon request) molded into a dry, sexy, sarcastic New York actor & model.
BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Signed with STATE MGMT, and Prestige Management Group.
As a model I’ve had the honor of working with over 60 different brands and designers. GAP, Victoria’s Secret, Under Armour, Ralph Lauren, Sachin & Babi, and Victor Glemaud to name a few. More recently, I had the honor of walking in New York Fashion Week for NYFW Curve SS25 as well as shooting for the TODAY Show, Macy’s, Kleinfeld Bridal, and Andie Swim.

NOW! If you’ll indulge me a moment on a soap box…it is my website after all…
As I’ve said, I’m plus size. It feels necessary to address this given the current cultural climate around body image. Especially given how the fashion and entertainment industries reflect, influence, and create that climate. People have a lot of feelings about body type…particularly about body types that deviate from the beauty standard of thinness. Being plus-size, curvy, thick, small-fat, full-figured, etc. / pick your poison, comes with biases and judgments thrown onto you. The way I see it, I can’t much control someone’s pre-judgements on my body. However, what I can do, is try to shift the needle of these judgments person by person. Which will hopefully effect a greater cultural change down the line.
How do I do that?
Working in the fashion and entertainment industry means I have the opportunity to shift the needle, simply by showing up. Showing up, taking up space in the room, asking questions and inviting others to engage with me on the topic of size inclusion. In a more tangible way that looks like…my fit modeling work - helping companies create comfortable clothing for over 67% of women in the US, and countless more internationally, who are my size or larger. My fashion modeling - jumping at opportunities, like the segment on the TODAY Show!, to create the representation I wish I had seen on TV while growing up. My acting work - planting seeds for size inclusive casting during auditions, classes, and showcases, as well as advocating for stories and characters that don’t view body size as an obstacle or a punchline.
What can you do?
Help me and other plus size artists move the needle! Invite us into your spaces, create with us, talk with us, talk with others who are hesitant to have these conversations, and above all, strive to reflect, influence, and create a culture that is inclusive.
If you read this far… thank you! Now, let’s get to work.
