About
Hi, I’m Lauren Oldenburg, an Architect and Interior Designer focused on cohesive design solutions that blend interiors, architecture, and branding. Based in Chicago, I lead design projects from concept through execution at Gensler, collaborating across disciplines to deliver strategic solutions for hospitality centered environments. I’m passionate about mentoring others and sharing knowledge through teaching and community engagement.
In addition to client work, I teach Digital Drawing in the ACE program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and bring hands-on experience from leading design teams and coordinating multi-disciplinary consultants. I earned a Master of Architecture from Boston Architectural College and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Michigan State University, fueling a holistic approach to design that emphasizes both form and function.
