👋 👋 !

Currently, I am a freelance creative director and art director with over 15 years of experience in advertising, branding, design, and production. With talented friends, I’ve been lucky to work on and lead projects for some of the most influential brands in the world.

Formerly, I’m a kid from Arizona who is honored to have been named one of the “30 Most Creative Women in Advertising" and friends say that I’ve never met a stranger.

My first name’s Lauren, but people always call me by my last name. I call Colorado home, but can meet you anywhere we both get internet. It’s nice to meet you!

Before all that, I went to the VCU Brandcenter, the Scuola Politecnica di Design and Northwestern University. I’ve been named one of the 30 Most Creative Women in Advertising, twice. My work has been featured in Mashable, Creativity, Fast Company, The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, TechCrunch, PSFK, Engadget, Creativity, Huffington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Gizmodo, AdWeek, Jeopardy! and seen on Oprah.

I’m a mentor at my alma maters as well as CU Boulder! It’s been an interesting journey and I’m stoked to be in a position to help others form their foundations and be a connecting link to people they wanna know and places they wanna go.
