Laura has an amazing ability to be able to translate just a few words or concepts into a bold visual identity, a true gift that not many graphic designers possess. Having worked with her on projects big (annual reports) and small (postcards) for a large nonprofit, I appreciate her relentless attention to detail, laser-like focus on fulfilling the client’s needs, and skill in transmitting our mission in everything we create.

I would especially recommend Laura’s work to anyone looking to freshen up their brand or create an entirely new look and feel for their organization. Working with Laura is such a pleasure and I hope to continue to do so for a long, long time!

NICE TO MEET YOU!

Hi, I’m Laura! When not designing, I love spending time with my husband, Jeremy (who is a talented voiceover artist—check him out for all of your voiceover needs), our two kids, and our goofy senior cat.

Travel is another big interest of mine. Favorite places currently include: Japan and Switzerland

I volunteer with local animal rescues and artist groups, I love potatoes, coffee, and dark beer, purple is my favorite color (if you couldn’t tell by my website), and I used play the bass guitar in a rock band.
