Testimonials
Grace Prendergast
Product Designer, Progressive
Design is a team sport, and I was lucky to experience that with Lauren as a fellow designer. She consistently brought fresh ideas and perspectives to our brainstorms, asked insightful questions, and pushed my work to be better. Lauren was an effective communicator and presenter, qualities that have shaped her into a respectful and confident leader. Lauren’s positive energy and drive elevate any team and user experience. I’m a better designer for having worked with her.
Brooke Olson
Product Manager, Homebound
Lauren is an exceptionally talented and versatile design leader who combines creativity with a strong strategic mindset. She thrives in both deep research and fast-paced collaboration, from leading large-scale IA initiatives to building prototypes alongside engineers. She is known for her ability to quickly understand complex problems while delivering thoughtful, effective designs that make an impact for users and teams.

Lauren is one of the most focused and talented design leaders I've had the pleasure of working with as an engineer. Specifically, Lauren's ability to cut to the heart of a problem, identify a target, and accelerate entire teams makes her an invaluable ally in doing transformative work. I'm thankful for the time Lauren and I have worked together and would gladly do so again!
