Hi, I’m Lauren Carey, a graphic designer focused on brand identity and visual systems. I earned my Bachelor's in Graphic Design from the National College of Art & Design (2020–2024) and a Higher Certificate from Ballyfermot College of Further Education (2019–2020). I’ve built experience delivering branding across print and digital, collaborating with visual merchandising and cross-functional teams to maintain brand consistency and drive customer engagement. Based in Ireland, I thrive in collaborative environments, turning feedback into refined concepts. I’m proficient with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects) and Figma, and I enjoy designing user-focused experiences from concept to final execution.
