My name is Lauren and I'm a
I'd love to work with you!
I've been using the Adobe Creative Suite for as long as I can remember. Designing is something that has always come naturally to me.
I love creating solutions for the web. Nothing means more to me than seeing one of my design creations come to life on the internet.
Photography started out as a hobby but soon turned into a tool I use to design. I use photography skills to personalize my design work.
I am a twenty three year old designer from NY. I have graduated with a Bachelors degree in Graphic & Multimedia Design, from Dowling College.
I knew Graphic Design was something I wanted to do from a very young age. I spent most of my spare time constantly challenging myself and teaching myself the fundimentals of design. Successfully combining form, interation, and function into one project is very important to me. I am always looking for new challenges and ways to improve my skills.
I use a combination of these skills to create user experiences that are not only beautiful, but functional.
A successful website is not just pretty, it also has to function well. User experience is key, if your website is hard to navigate it doesn't matter what it looks like. Each project is special and I make sure that every user interface I create is easy to use and works well.

Web Design
Tools used to create this site: Adobe Photoshop, Wordpress, Gravity Forms, Revolution Slider
My cousin recently opened up her own photography business and was in need of a website to help promote herself. The website had to be simple, clean, informational and it had to display her work in a professional way. The website is still a work in progress but is still avaliable to view.
Web Design
Tools used for this project: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Adobe Photoshop
I created my portfolio site to use as a platform to challenge myself. I needed something of my own that I could break and impliment new ideas to.
I hope when clients visit my website they are greeted with not only something that looks nice, but something that is easy to navigate as well. If there is something you see that you don't like, please reach out to me! I love critisim.
Graphic Design
Tools to create this project: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, My DSLR
This is one of my personal projects that I've created during my time at Dowling College. Our challenge was to create a clock that meant something to us and we also had to make it function as a real product. I built this functioning clock out of foam core and functioning time pieces. To this day, I still own this clock and it still functions like the first day I created it.
Graphic Design
Tools used to create this project: Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign
For one of my graphic design classes at Dowling College, we had to come up with a fictitious company, and brand them. I created the company called Deep Blue, which was in theory, a start-up aquarium. I kept the business card and logo simple, neat, but also fun and family oriented.

In 2014, I worked with a not for profit organization called Jewish Genealogy Society of Long Island (JGSLI). I created this brochure for them to use when recruiting memebers.
Web Designs
Tools used to create this project: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Wordpress
We all start at humble beginnings. This website was my very first website I've ever created for a client. I built it on wordpress using the Twenty Twelve theme. This was my very first time ever experiencing wordpress and for going in blind I believe I did a pretty good job. I took the Twenty Twelve theme and used it as a stepping stool to customize the site to what the folks at JGSLI needed.
Even though this site is not up to my standards of design now I like to reference it to show how much I've grown in the past few years of being a Web Designer. While JGSLI.org is still mobile responsive, the design skills are dated.

This was my original portfolio website. My site looked like this from 2014 - 2016.
This was my first attempt at working with bootstrap and responsive web design.
Photography
Tools used for this project: Nikon D3100, Photoshop, Macro Lens, Fish Eye Lens
While I was at Dowling, I took an independent study where I focused on different photography techniques such as Macro and Fish Eye. My goal was to capture visually pleasing and successful photos using these two different techniques.
