Biography
Hi, I’m Lauren! For the last 18 years I have been honing my design and marketing skills. With a degree and background in Graphic Design my passion is great design. For me, design is all about problem-solving- whether it’s creating the right visual or finding the perfect products to recommend. I also love good organization and an efficient process, because it makes a direct impact on the customer experience. Great customer service is at the heart of everything I do.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and still residing in Washington state, I am a true coffee aficionado. Most days I drink more coffee than water-oops! Outside of work, you can find me hanging out with my husband, chauffeuring my two daughters to gymnastics and softball, or working on some sort of new creative project.
In my neck of the woods, we embrace this saying: “Live like the Mountain is Out” which is all about living everyday with hope and optimism, even when things seem hard or challenging, much like the joy of seeing the mountain (Mt. Rainier) emerge from the clouds on one of our beautiful sunny PNW days! My hope is to always bring that same energy to the Brand Fuel team and our clients.
