Hello! My name is Lauren. I am a South Jersey Shore native. I grew up here, and proudly call it my current residence. From when I was a child, I knew one day I wanted to be a graphic designer, I just didn't know what a graphic designer was. My first piece of design, was when we had first purchased our macintosh! I was about 8 years old. I found a stock image of purple grapes, and loved the image so much, that I typed in a blurry corner, "LOVE THEM GRAPES" ... it was a stepping stone in my life.

Throughout grade school & high school, regular school work bored me, but give me some pencils, some paint, and anything "art-sy", I was so there, and loved every minute of it. I went to college, to pursue my love of art, and found it in Graphic Design! I achieved the unthinkable ... a BFA in Digital Art & Design!

Now, I am working for a fine jewelery company as their graphic designer. Magazine advertisements, billboards, direct mail, invitation, posters, banners, website maintenance & design, organization of a visual library of files and folders, preflight and packaging, pantones and foils, die-cuts and saddle stitching ... My eyes have been opened up to the world of design and I can not say how happy I am with out wanting to jump up and down and scream...

I am a graphic designer .... and I LOVE IT !!!!
