Hey there. 👋Â
I'm Lauren and I'm delighted you are visiting my website. I've been labeled a "creative type" my whole life, and have been fortunate enough to make a living within that realm. I have bounced around several different disciplines throughout my career; everything from graphic design for print & digital, to packaging design, to color design, to branding & identity, to 3D rendering, to art direction. This versatility has come in handy over the years as my employers' and clients' needs have morphed and expanded.Â
I have worked in-house for companies specializing in both mass market & specialty manufacturing, as well as for boutique and international agencies. It has been my pleasure to work for a variety of freelance clients as well, on all sorts of projects. I currently work in advertising, managing 9Â people while at the helm of production design efforts on a very challenging line of business for a world-renowned client. I enjoy the management piece of my job immensely and strive to guide and inspire my direct reports, while continuing to learn myself. Â Â Â Â Â
These days, I specialize in design systems, creative thinking, and crafting tools to help my team with efficiency & effectiveness. I've been told I have an eagle eye, as well as producer tendencies. I'm passionate about Pantone. I have a soft spot for puns. In my spare time, I mess around with AI and am active as an Adobe Community Expert.Â
Reach out if you'd like to know more, I'd be honored to connect with you.Â
