About

Hi, I'm Lauren

I am a designer, researcher and strategist working with teams to help solve civic tech problems for the federal government.

I have over a decade of experience working on digital transformation projects, in addition to operating as an industrial designer for physical spaces. My design process incorporates trauma-informed research to develop accessible and intuitive digital experiences.

You'll notice some hand sketches across my work. That's just how I dissect the problem, and establish a baseline. It also helps me iterate ideas quickly, and communicate complexity to cross-functional teammates.

I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Corcoran College of Art + Design. In my spare time, I like art, fitness and vintage things.

I am currently reading Empire of AI.

Work experience

I have spent the majority of my career working on end-to-end experiences for enterprise and customer facing apps and websites.
