About
Hi, I'm Lauren. I've worked in the advertising industry for 20+ years as a creative director, art director, designer, and writer. I've built brand identities and created award winning campaigns and branded content for big clients such as Verizon Wireless, Lean Cuisine, Stouffer's and Nurtec. I'm known for tapping into human truths in my work and feel that reflecting on the realities in life can often be one of the truest ways to connect with people. As technology changes, I enjoy learning new ways to create these connections. I really just love collaborating and making beautiful, funny, and cool stuff with nice people. Say hello at laurennymail@gmail.com
