About me

Hi! My name is Lauren and I have been in the design industry for 4 years now. I began my journey creating artwork to go on souvenirs, for companies such as the RNLI, Eden Project, Windsor Castle and Bodmin Moor. After a year there, I set up my own business as a freelance designer to run alongside my full time job. I moved on and joined a PrintRoom as their designer, allowing me to gain an incredible amount of print knowledge. Last year, I decided to take the plunge and go solo full time! I love everything about what I do and hope to grow and collaborate with new companies.

Projects

• Hester's Happy Hounds Logo DesignHester contacted me to create her new logo for her dog walking business. I used a pop of red to make the logo stand out, with the cute addition of a dog, that can be used alone as an icon as well as in the full logo. We both were pleased with the final design.
• Letitia Surtees BrandingLetitia approached me wanting some branding for her University project. she gave me a brief of a simplistic logo using neutral colours. We both love the final outcomes and I personally love the colour palette!
• Wake Up Made Up - BrandingThis new company approached me to create their logo and business cards. She requested a design that would look fresh and work when foiled. I presented her with the chosen ideas and she loved them!.... and the foil!
