Lindsey Brock Morales

Lindsey Brock Morales studied at the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras, where she first became active in community organizing and political advocacy. After graduation, she moved to Italy, where she spent more than a decade working in refugee resettlement during the height of the Mediterranean refugee crisis. These experiences—bridging grassroots organizing, frontline humanitarian work, and global migration policy—continue to shape her perspective as both a designer and a writer.

Now based in Northern Virginia, Lindsey works remotely as a Product Designer, focusing on building accessible, human-centered digital tools. Beyond her design career, she is a freelance cultural commentator and writer. Her most recent work appeared in Observer, where she examined the deepening ties between Silicon Valley and U.S. government agencies.

Lindsey’s current project, The Parlor Magazine, was born out of the isolation she experienced as a new mother during the COVID-19 pandemic and her desire to return to political activism and collective storytelling. With The Parlor, she seeks to create an independent media space that brings together diverse voices too often sidelined by mainstream outlets. The magazine’s mission is to blend rigorous, well-researched critique with personal narrative, cultural analysis, and grassroots perspectives, offering readers an alternative to the corporate-driven news cycle.

Through her work in design, writing, and community-building, Lindsey is committed to challenging systems of power while amplifying stories that foster solidarity, imagination, and change.
