Lauren Aber is a Junior Art Director and Graphic Designer with a passion for bold ideas and boundary-pushing design. From crafting engaging campaigns to quirky TikToks, Lauren approaches every project with energy, audacity, and a unique perspective. Since her earliest days glued to Kid Pix in the computer lab, she’s known her calling is creative thinking. Today, as a student at Michael Graves College, she’s honing her book by looking to break the mold. Lauren believes design should be as memorable as it is meaningful, and her work is a testament to that philosophy. Whether it’s turning big ideas into impactful visuals or finding unexpected ways to connect with an audience, she thrives at the intersection of strategy and creativity. Her one rule is simple: aim for audacity — because standing out is the first step to making a difference.

Jessica Walsh was one of the first designers who truly inspired me, I have always deeply respected her commitment to social good, both personally and through her agency.
