Her work has been recognized by Communication Arts, the Art Directors Club, the Type Directors Club, the One Club, and the Webby Awards.

She finds that she's happiest when creating; so, when she's not working, you can find her baking yummy things or lettering for lunch around New York City. Lauren's motto is, and will always be, "Work hard, snack often."
