Hi! I’m Lauren, a Graphic Designer currently living in Southwest Florida.

My love for design began in Chicago, IL, where I studied graphic design and graduated from Illinois State University in 2012. Since then I have worked in a variety of different design departments, agencies and fields, Learning and growing my skill set. I gained experience in everything from corporate design, branding, digital, UI/UX, web design, publishing and print production.

In 2013 I took a leap and decided to pack up and move to San Diego California. I was lucky enough to work in a small design agency that helped me develop into the designer I wanted to be. There I learned how to work with and adapt to a variety of different design styles and media, but most importantly how to build a strong designer/client relationship.
 
Since moving to Florida in 2016 I spent some time with Feld Entertainment where I mainly worked on digital assets for their Disney on Ice and Disney Live Brands. After that I made the move over to Strive Media where I have worked in the design department for the last 7 years. 
 
At Strive media I started as web designer and have worked my way up to Senior designer. My responsibilities include everything from web design, social media posts, infographics, sales/ business material and building new brands from the ground up. I am also responsible for managing design requests from various departments and making sure they are prioritized, organized and there is clear communication throughout the process.
 
All the time and job experiences I’ve had thus far have helped me grow into the designer I am today, and I am looking forward to the next chapter and all the new experience and development ahead.
