Hello, I'm Lauren!

I'm a graphic designer and marketing professional based in Pennsylvania. I am currently looking for an in-house graphic design position.

Graphic Design Expertise

As a seasoned graphic designer, I bring a unique blend of creative expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to every project I undertake. With over a decade of experience in graphic design in both project-based freelance and in-house, I am adept at delivering innovative design solutions.

Since 2009, I have operated as a freelance designer, where I have collaborated with a wide array of clients, including nonprofits like Americans for the Arts, small businesses, and creative individuals. My portfolio spans infographics, annual reports, logo and identity systems, promotional materials, package design, and more. My work emphasizes both aesthetic appeal and functional design, driving engagement and achieving client objectives.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s from Moore College of Art & Design where for three years, I was involved in the Business Scholar in the Arts program. This program guided and provided us with the tools to become successful entrepreneurs. It included taking Business classes, attending networking events, having scholar meetings with local creative business owners, and more. This fostered within me skills beyond my general graphic design degree, instilling an interest in the marketing end of things, and lead me down the path to running my own business!

Professional Background

My previous roles include graphic designer and marketing specialist at NUMiNOUS magazine, where I managed social media communities as well as created promotional design, and magazine layouts. At Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center, I led the Marketing and Creative Department, overseeing campaign development, community management, and creative design as well as managing an in-house marketing team. building business partnerships, and arranging events. My work at Renaissance Communications Group included creating a variety of digital and print assets for our many clientele while contributing overall to the creative team and company mission.

I am passionate about combining creativity with strategic thinking to deliver impactful solutions and am always eager to explore new opportunities and challenges. Whether designing compelling graphics or managing a successful business, I am dedicated to excellence and innovation in all my endeavors.
