Hi, I’m Lauren

A Creative Director with an exceptional design aesthetic who has proven myself as a creative, maker and storyteller. My campaign level thinking and strong conceptual abilities, help me smoothly navigate between formulating the big idea and filling out the narrative beneath it. I'm comfortable collaborating and working closely within a team and with clients. Additionally, I have experience art directing in all mediums from traditional to digital to social and have a passion for creating great work.

Outside of work, I love to explore new places, get lost in art galleries, bake fancy cakes, run half marathons, binge watch shows, learn new things, paint and attempt to keep an increasing number of plants alive.
