“I had an idea in my head for my branding and Lauren really brought it to life and added extra things I would never have thought about. She was very accommodating with any changes I wanted and would get back so quickly. Couldn't be happier!"
"Lauren produced high quality illustrations which were used by TCTU in the development of age specific research participant information leaflets. They met and exceeded the scope provided by TCTU and her work was submitted on time and delivered within a constrained timeline. TCTU would have no hesitation in working with Lauren and providing a recommendation based upon work she submitted."
“We love Lauren's work. She's creative, professional, and so easy to work with: we've commissioned her to work on multiple design projects and she's never failed to deliver. Highly recommended”
"Lauren did an incredible job turning a child’s drawing of a hockey club mascot into real life. The vector characters she made were perfect and any changes needed were made on the spot to perfection. Super happy."
