Lindsey Hawkins Bowman is a Jonesboro native, and while her title says she’s the Chief Psychologist – she’s not actually a psychologist or a doctor, but does find herself in situations where she is helping clients study and examine the minds and behaviors of themselves and also their target audience. She jokingly fills the role of “mom” for her employees too, which lends itself to plenty of opportunities to act as an unlicensed therapist. She and her best friend, Katie Spencer, co-founded Polish in 2020.
Lindsey is a Jonesboro native; she graduated from Westside High School and went on to get her Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Arkansas State University. If you want to see her resume and job history, you can check that out on LinkedIn. She is married to her husband, Derek Bowman, who is a VP at Simmons Bank in Jonesboro. They have three daughters – Beckett, Lainey and London. They are proud supporters of the A-State Red Wolves.
Katie was born and raised in Jonesboro, AR alongside Lindsey. She graduated from Arkansas State in 2010 with a BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Spanish. Katie joined Lindsey in transforming Lindsey’s consulting business into a full service marketing agency in late 2019. Katie’s has worn several different hats as the business has grown. She now serves as the Business Analyst where she handles HR duties, manages budgets, analyzes insights, places ads and helps keep the business side of things running smoothly and efficiently.

Though he is a city boy at heart, Cody spent most of his life growing up in the small town of DeWitt, Arkansas. He moved to Jonesboro in 2013 to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Multimedia Journalism from Arkansas State University. Cody graduated with that degree in 2017, and immediately began working for a local magazine as an editorial writer and photographer. In January 2021, Cody made the decision to join the polish team as the Creative Content Director, allowing him to do what he loved while also gaining experience in the social media marketing world. Today, Cody is the Social Media Director, handling and assisting with all of polish’s social media clients. A good way to get on Cody’s good side is to bring him an iced coffee or introduce him to new tunes.
