MY DESIGN STORY
Hi! I'm Lauren, a Lead Visual Designer dedicated to elevating organizations' brands through print, digital, web and social media design.
I have 3+ years experience working for an event based non-profit that focuses on educating, connecting, and celebrating innovators in the Chicagoland area. In my current role as Senior Graphic Designer, I lead all aspects of our brand's design encompassing print, digital, web and social media. I have experience (and love) taking the Chicago Innovation team's written and spoken ideas and fleshing them out into completed billboard designs, bus ads, brochures, email campaigns, web design, and much more.
In addition to my work at Chicago Innovation, I take on freelance projects by request that focus on branding and digital design. Since 2020, I have had four entrepreneurial clients who I directly work with on their professional websites and branding style guides.
With a BFA in Industrial Design, I apply my expertise in human centered design to every project I take on, and am very passionate about social impact work.
What do I do when I'm not designing? Great question! You can find me exercising my cooking skills, jamming out to classic rock, practicing yoga,
or exploring nearby Chicago neighborhoods!
