United States, 30th Apr 2025 – Lounge Lizard, a leader in digital marketing and web design for over 25 years, proudly announces Zoe Webb from the University of Georgia as the Spring 2025 Web Design Scholarship winner. Zoe’s impressive portfolio site, zwebbdesign.com, earned her top honors for its clean aesthetic, intuitive user experience, and creative edge, embodying the values Lounge Lizard champions in digital innovation.

The announcement, detailed in a featured blog post on the Lounge Lizard website (read the post here), continues the agency’s ongoing commitment to support the next generation of digital design talent through its biannual Web Design Scholarship initiative. Since its inception, the scholarship has helped numerous students bridge financial gaps and gain visibility in a competitive industry.

Ken Braun, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Lounge Lizard and an esteemed judge for The Webby Awards, personally reviewed the entries and praised Zoe’s submission.

“Great web design is more than just aesthetics—it’s about creating seamless, engaging user experiences that leave a lasting impact,” said Braun. “Through our scholarship program, Lounge Lizard is proud to support the next generation of designers pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation in the digital space.”

The Lounge Lizard scholarship is part of the agency’s broader mission to promote creativity, excellence, and accessibility in digital design. As a full-service agency with offices in NYC, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and other major U.S. cities, Lounge Lizard works with clients across industries to create dynamic branding, web design, and marketing solutions.

In an industry where 94% of first impressions are design-related and 75% of website credibility is attributed to design, according to studies from WebFX and Stanford Web Credibility Research, nurturing design talent has never been more crucial. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 16% growth in web design jobs by 2032, while 42% of students cite financial constraints as a major barrier to pursuing education in design and tech fields.

“At Lounge Lizard, we believe that investing in young designers is investing in the future of digital innovation,” said Braun. “We look forward to seeing how emerging talents like Zoe shape the industry in the years to come.”

Applications for the Fall 2025 Scholarship are now open and will be accepted through October 2, 2025. The scholarship is open to students currently attending or accepted into accredited institutions in the United States. Interested students can find full eligibility details and submit their applications via the Lounge Lizard Scholarship Page.

With this initiative, Lounge Lizard reaffirms its position as an industry trailblazer—not just in delivering award-winning web design and digital marketing solutions (see services), but also in mentoring and uplifting the next wave of digital professionals.
