About Lauren

About

I’m Lauren, I specialize in graphic and visual design, UX writing and content system development. I’ve got a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations and four years professional experience as a Marketing Coordinator + Content Strategist. In that time, I’ve written copy for 8 websites, 53 retail products, 40 social media accounts, and 5 newsletters. I love designing in all its forms, but I feel most at home doing work that tells stories and connects to community. Interested in working together? Reach out to me here.

Fun Fact: I’m from Third Ward Houston, TX - better known as the birthplace of Destiny’s Child. I met them as a kid. Here’s proof:
