Lauren Kusmierczak
Creative Director
Make it simple, yet significant.
Hi there, I’m Lauren.
I make work for the moodboards.
From global campaigns to grassroots movements, I build work that lives at the intersection of culture, purpose, and engaging design.
I'm about creating space for fresh voices, untapped talent, and perspectives that deserve a louder mic. Pushing past the obvious, making sure the work actually makes you feel something.
I’m about obsessing the details but not sweating the small stuff.
When I’m not deep in a concept deck, you’ll find me hiking California’s backroads, hopping around new cities, or making a mess in the kitchen with my sidekicks, Bagel and Biscuit 🐾
Currently based in LA, but always dreaming bigger.
