Hi, I'm Lauren.
I'm a Senior Product Designer based in the South West. I took the scenic route into design, starting with an Architecture degree before finding my way into UX and Product Design. I love figuring out how things work, solving messy problems and turning them into simple, useful products.
Outside of work, I'm usually making something, whether that's cooking, sewing or one of the many projects I've decided to take on. I love a challenge. Some of my biggest achievements to date have been climbing Kilimanjaro, running a half marathon and recently becoming a mum, arguably my hardest challenge yet.

Alongside my product design work, I run a small greeting card business. I design and illustrate all the cards myself — hand-painted on iPad with a watercolour style. It started as a creative outlet and grew into something I sell online and through independent shops.
