Hi, I'm Lauren Smith!

I’m a seasoned, award-winning creative with over 30 years of experience as a designer, art director, and creative director. I’m passionate about branding and visual storytelling. I’ve worked with major brands like Visa, Hewlett-Packard, PayPal, SanDisk, Dignity Health, and startups. My experience and skills cover various media, including digital, print, and motion. I’m accustomed to collaborating in person and remotely with clients and colleagues all over the United States and abroad. I love working as part of a creative team, but I'm also comfortable working independently. I love developing broad creative strategies and big ideas, but I also enjoy getting into hands-on production. My work has been featured in numerous professional exhibitions and publications and has garnered nearly 250 local, national, and international awards for creative excellence.
