About Me - Robin Spindt

Writer. Artist. Maker.

I'm a lifelong creator blending art, storytelling, and design.

Having dyslexia, I always dreamed of becoming an author—even when others said it wasn't possible. I started writing my first book in 2007, inspired by reading a Janet Evanovich novel and surviving Hurricane Katrina. After many writing courses and rewrites, I've built a strong writing group and continue refining that first book, working title: "We're Screwed."

Set in post-hurricane New Orleans, the story follows Roni Hirsch, who's falsely accused of murder. With help from her best friend Elisabeth, she navigates the chaos of fraternity life to uncover the truth—before she ends up in a Louisiana prison.

Now, I spend my mornings writing and my afternoons on art and sewing projects. I've been sewing for over fifty years and was once a designer in the Bridal and Social Occasion industry, with over 300 clients worldwide.

I studied painting, sculpture, and jewelry design at Temple University and taught design and art history at several colleges while running a successful jewelry design business. My MBA from Tulane helped me grow multiple startups into million-dollar operations, blending creativity with business strategy.

Today, I live and create in my dream studio in Tucson, Arizona, with a view of the Catalina Mountains. Finishing a project—whether it's a book, a dress, or a piece of art—gives me purpose, keeps my mind sharp, and feeds my soul.
