Hi, I’m Lauren!

I’m a digital designer who helps service-based businesses build brands that reflect their value and feel inclusive, intentional, and unmissable. 

A good brand is about showing up with confidence, making genuine connections and turning what you do best into an experience that people remember. I’m here to help you do exactly that.

How I got here

I didn’t follow a straight path to design. I studied Literature, started a corporate career in Law, then ditched it all to follow my creative dreams!

Since then I’ve continued my studies in User Experience, front-end web development and inclusive communication.

I’ve worked with clients across tech, wellness, fashion and more, often becoming their go-to creative partner as they grow.

How I approach projects

01.

Strategy-first thinking

I love getting stuck into research and strategy - what you’re here to do, who it’s for any why it matters (that’s my legal background coming through)

02.

Smart, flexible design systems

I help small brands show up with big-brand confidence, with design assets you can actually use.

03.

Collaboration over ego

I value honest conversation, simple processes, and making space for ideas - yours and mine.

Inclusive design isn’t a feature, it’s a foundation

I always design with access and inclusion in mind, so more people can engage, connect and feel considered.

No brand can promise perfect accessibility but with the right tools, knowledge and intention, we can make things better and keep improving all the time.

If you value design that does more than decorate - design that tells your story, gets you noticed, and makes people feel welcome in your world, we’ll get along.
