Product designer. Creative partner. Systems thinker. Advocate. Born and raised New Yorker.
What's up? I'm Lauran, a designer based in New York City. My journey started at 15, learning to Photoshop images for friends, and now I'm proud to design as a full time job. Ask me about the latest video game I'm playing or my favorite museums.

"She is a very talented and well-rounded product designer, her in-depth understanding of product and UX is showcased in all aspects of the design process. We worked closely together on updating our design system, brainstorming and concepting new features, and redesigning existing features to better suit our users needs. She is an empathetic researcher and great at understanding customer needs and turning them into solutions that balance internal and customer needs. She is equally comfortable working with a large group, or autonomously with little management. Her personality and interpersonal skills make her someone who is easy to work with and fun to be around. She would be a huge benefit to any design team!"
