Her film and television career is rooted in art department work on large-scale productions shot in British Columbia. Following her five-season run on ''Battlestar Galactica'', she served as art department coordinator on ''[[w:Tron: Legacy|Tron: Legacy]]'' (2010), the Walt Disney Pictures sequel directed by [[w:Joseph_Kosinski|Joseph Kosinski]].<ref group="external" name="snedden_afi_tron_legacy_art_dept">{{cite web|url=https://watch.afi.com/movie/tron-legacy#:~:text=Art%20Department%20Coordinator%3A%20Lynn%20Snedden|title=Tron: Legacy – AFI Catalog|publisher=American Film Institute|accessdate=15 March 2026}}</ref> She later filled the same role on the 2017 family drama ''[[w:Wonder (film)|Wonder]]'', directed by [[w:Stephen_Chbosky|Stephen Chbosky]] and based on the novel by [[w:R.J._Palacio|R.J.

By the mid-2010s Snedden had moved into the role of assistant art director. She worked in that capacity on the revival seasons of ''[[w:The X-Files|The X-Files]]'', including the six-episode tenth season (2016)<ref group="external" name="snedden_xfiles_s10_founders_mutation">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4549948/fullcredits/#art_department|title="Founder's Mutation" – The X-Files – Full cast & crew|publisher=IMDb|accessdate=15 March 2026}}</ref> and the ten-episode eleventh season (2018), both produced in Vancouver.<ref group="external" name="snedden_xfiles_s11_kitten">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6803232/fullcredits/#art_department|title="Kitten" – The X-Files – Full cast & crew|publisher=IMDb|accessdate=15 March 2026}}</ref> She continued as assistant art director on the [[w:Syfy|Syfy]] science fiction comedy series ''[[w:Resident Alien (TV series)|Resident Alien]]'', also shot in British Columbia, beginning with its 2021 premiere season.<ref group="external" name="snedden_resident_alien_pilot_art_dept">{{cite web|url=https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11591062/fullcredits/|title="Pilot" – Resident Alien – Full cast & crew|publisher=IMDb|accessdate=15 March 2026}}</ref> After two decades in film and television, she transitioned into the live events industry, joining Reveal Events Group — an award-winning event production company based in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia — as production coordinator.<ref group="external" name="snedden_reveal_events_bio" />

=== ''Battlestar Galactica'' ===

Snedden worked on the Re-imagined Series across all four of its broadcast seasons, accumulating credits on 69 episodes between 2004 and 2009.<ref group="external" name="imdb_snedden_bsg_series_credits" /> In the art department, a coordinator occupies a central administrative and logistical role: managing budgets, tracking purchases and rentals, maintaining communication between the production designer and outside vendors, and ensuring the department's scheduling runs alongside the shoot. On a production of ''Battlestar Galactica'''s scale — with its distinctive blended military-industrial aesthetic developed by production designer [[Richard Hudolin]] — the coordinator position required sustained involvement through the full arc of the series.

Her episodic credits span the run of the show, including Season 4 episodes such as "[[He That Believeth in Me]]",<ref group="production" name="imdb_snedden_he_that_believeth_credit">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993910/fullcredits/#art_department|title="He That Believeth in Me" (2008) – Full cast & crew|publisher=IMDb|accessdate=15 March 2026}}</ref> "[[Sometimes a Great Notion]]",<ref group="production" name="imdb_snedden_sometimes_great_notion_credit">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1239323/fullcredits/#art_department|title="Sometimes a Great Notion" (2009) – Full cast & crew|publisher=IMDb|accessdate=15 March 2026}}</ref> and "[[Defender (Deadlock)|Deadlock]]".<ref group="production" name="imdb_snedden_deadlock_credit">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993917/fullcredits/#art_department|title="Deadlock" (2009) – Full cast & crew|publisher=IMDb|accessdate=15 March 2026}}</ref>

Many Snedden "Easter eggs" are included in various props, from authoring in-universe books such as ''[[The River Runs Red]]'' to wall paint from the [[Snedden Lyntt Collection]], and even earlier with a donor credit on the donor's plaque briefly seen in the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]].

=== ''Caprica'' ===
While her work on ''Caprica'' was solely for the [[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' pilot]], produced during [[Season 4 (2008-09)|Season 4]] of the Re-imagined Series, she was uncredited for her role as art department coordinator. As with the Re-imagined Series, her name appears on a spiritual book entitled ''[[The New Spirit]]'', a copy of which had been owned by [[Zoe Graystone]].
