Hello,

I’m Laura, a recent graduate with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and a passion for helping small businesses level up their branding and engagement. I build cohesive brand identities, impactful websites that engage customers & social media management that showcases a business’s purpose.


My Artist’s Statement

I've always loved to make things look beautiful. I crave a sense of balance in my work and the satisfaction of building just the right identity to encompass a brand. Crafting an unforgettable brand is all about making the right design decisions upfront that align with the brand's vision. When vision meets clean design is when a brand becomes an icon that endures.

Every design project is rooted in both vision and purpose. Answering questions about the purpose and audience of a project brings clarity to guiding decisions, including visuals, typography, color, and platform. The art of design often boils down to what can be taken away and how a few deliberate elements can communicate a world of possibilities. Like poetry, a few components are chosen with the utmost care and carry the identity of an entire brand.

My dream is to construct successful brand identities that connect companies to their clients and fulfill the entrepreneur's dream of a brand that will stand through time. Listening to clients and making their vision a reality is the privilege and reward of every graphic designer. I want to experience this joy by bringing inspiration and dedication to each brand I get to bring to life.
