BEHIND THE VISUALS

I’m Lauren, an aspiring graphic designer and student in the Design & Media Communications program at Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School. Now a senior, I have grown as a designer and have learned to love working in the Adobe Creative Cloud. I specialize in graphic design, with my skills further elevated by my love for photography.

Starting in the fall, I will be attending the University of Florida to study Graphic Design and further pursue my creative goals. I plan to continue my career in sports media and dream of working in the professional leagues. Growing up in a family that loves sports has inspired me to work in the field while following my passion for creativity.
