About
Laura is a creative thrill-seeker who believes some of the most striking and effective design pieces are those that dare to be minimal. She is currently employed as a graphic designer, whilst moonlighting as a children’s book illustrator, and pursuing an (admittedly) excessive number of hobbies.
In her day to day, there are several things that never fail to provide satisfaction, like: nailing that font pairing, a flawlessly photoshopped image, taking on new skill sets, and producing dynamic work that results in a “hell–YES!”
LAURA IS A: Piano and violin amateur. Film, improv, and theatre lover. Podcast and YouTube collector. Mental health advocate. Cat mom. Self-improvement junkie. Social media user. Inventor. Recovered HGTV addict. Soccer retiree. Netflix binger. Horseback, crafting, ballroom, and tabletop game enthusiast. Stand-up comedy fan. Meditation novice. Minimalist-in-training.
