Kia ora! I’m Lauren.

I’m a passionate creative based in Tāmaki Makaurau, New Zealand. One summer, I discovered the craft of hand-lettering. Hidden between inky hands and creative ideas, I found a love for the world of art and design. With an interest in social design, I went on to study a Bachelor of Design at AUT and have been working in design and communications ever since, within the not-for-profit sector.

My art journey has included hand-lettering, mixed media art, illustration and paper collage. Free-form shapes, organic textures and bright colours can be seen throughout my work.
