Meet Linda
Linda P. Romero is the founder of Lindy & Friends. She is a passionate self-taught illustrator that loves creating, innovating and always enjoys learning new skills.
From her teenage years, she discovered a deep passion for children and teaching, dedicating herself to developing creative learning strategies for young minds. Alongside her husband, Pastor Haziel Ortega, she has spent 20 years planting churches and serving as a pastor with the Assemblies of God in the USA. Today, they are the founding pastors of El Camino Church in Columbus, Ohio—a vision God placed in their hearts, which became a reality in January 2023.
Beginnings
Linda's childhood love for Art and Creative Writing led her to embark on an original project, Lindy & Friends, inspired by her family and involvement in the Kid's Ministry. Despite facing professional challenges, she found motivation in her faith, believing in the power of God to turn things around for the good.
