Lauren’s a designer passionate about UX, continued learning, and remote work.

Growing up, my “What I Want To Be When I’m Older” aspirations were pretty diverse as, over the years, I envisioned myself being a teacher, archaeologist, interior designer, and graphic designer.

But the consistent themes throughout my evolving interests included problem-solving, uncovering meaningful insights, sharing knowledge with others, and crafting visually compelling designs.

I have a degree in Human-Centered Computing from the Rochester Institute of Technology with concentrations in Research, Accessibility, and Visual Design.

My career started as a UX Designer at GE, where I focused my time in the e-commerce and admin space, designing tools that allow employees to self-serve across their technologies.

I work remotely from the DC suburbs where I live with my chihuahua, Josie.

My Design Principles

  • I believe that collaboration enhances creativity and learning, and brings together diverse perspectives while creating a space for new ideas and constructive feedback.

  • The moment we feel stagnant and comfortable is the moment we stop growing and pushing ourselves to be better.

  • ‘Kaizen’ is a Japanese business philosophy of continuous improvement. Designs are never done and there will always be room for improvement, one iteration at a time.

After Hours

I enjoy traveling and leisurely exploring new places. My goal is to visit all 50 states, but I’ve still got a long ways to go.

I’m also a homebody at heart who enjoys interior decorating. The cozy peacefulness of being in my own space unmatched.

I rarely go anywhere without my Kindle. I usually can be found in the middle of a romance, thriller, mystery, fantasy, or personal development book.
