Hi, I'm Lauren. It's nice to meet you!

Brand strategist, web designer, and consultant for nonprofits, mission-driven businesses, and creatives. I make messy things make sense. I've been doing it for over a decade and I'm still not tired of it.


( THE BACKSTORY )

I’VE BUILT BUSINESSES, BRANDS, AND DINNER. SOMETIMES ALL AT ONCE

I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years — food media founder, digital strategist, marketing manager, consultant, photographer, cookbook author, web designer. The connecting thread has always been understanding how people connect with ideas, and how organizations can show up with clarity, purpose, and a point of view.

My career began in college with a food blog that grew into two media companies, a cookbook deal, and eventually successful acquisitions. Along the way, I launched an agency, produced hundreds of content packages for national brands, and consulted on multi-million-dollar digital acquisitions. Those experiences taught me how much strategy and systems matter — not just for growth, but for sustainability.

These days, I focus on supporting nonprofits, small businesses and creatives so they can communicate clearly, scale impact, and work with less overhead. I also collaborate on values-aligned community projects and carve out space for slower, personal work — like my Food on the Street photo series and a growing collection of abstract paintings. I also serve on the Board of Directors as Director of Agency for AMA PDX, the award-winning local chapter of the American Marketing Association.

My Mission & Values

My mission is to support, amplify, and equip those reshaping their industries and communities with the tools to make their vision a reality and to follow my creativity wherever it leads.

IMPACT

Creativity should be a tool for access, not a luxury. I focus on supporting nonprofits, small businesses, and creatives whose work drives real change.

CLARITY

Good work makes things simpler, not harder. Whether through strategy, design, or storytelling, I believe the best ideas help people connect and take action with ease.

SUSTAINABILITY

Work should be built to last — ethically, financially, and creatively. I prioritize work that considers long-term growth over short-term trends.
