About Me
Lydia Timms

A marketer who builds things

Recent graduate from BYU's Marriott School of Business with hands-on experience across experiential marketing, social media, brand activations, and live event merchandising.

From leading merchandise operations at X Games to creating social-first campaigns and supporting nationwide event activations, I've developed a passion for building marketing that feels memorable and people-centered.

I'm especially drawn to roles where strategy, creativity, and culture intersect — and I'm excited to continue growing in brand and experiential marketing.
