I’m Lauren, a Buffalo-based graphic designer with 10 years of experience creating print collateral and marketing materials. My background spans the full lifecycle of print production—from concept and layout through prepress, finishing, and delivery. This experience has given me a strong focus on clarity, visual hierarchy, and real-world execution.
I approach design with a focus on making information clear and easy to navigate. My work often involves organizing content so viewers can quickly find what matters most. I’m especially drawn to physical projects, where thoughtful design decisions support real-world functionality.
I began my career on the production floor of a commercial printer, operating print and finishing equipment before moving into roles in typesetting and graphic design. Working in production showed me how projects move from design to press to final delivery. That experience allows me to collaborate easily with production teams, anticipate challenges early, and keep projects running smoothly.
I’ve designed materials for organizations across corporate and small businesses, nonprofits, healthcare, and hospitality. My work has supported organizations such as DENT Neurologic Institute, Northland Workforce Training Center, Donald Ross Sportswear, and many other Buffalo-area businesses.
