Hi! I’m Lauren a creative digital media professional and recent First Class Honors graduate from UWE. With a background that spans UX design, video editing and graphic design, I love bridging the gap between technical functionality and fun aesthetics. During my time at university, I had the rewarding opportunity to work with a local charity, where I designed brand-focused social media content and digital assets. That experience taught me how to create meaningful designs that don't just look good, but actually drive engagement and support a mission. I’m a firm believer that great design is about storytelling and empathy, whether I’m mapping out a user journey or editing a high energy video. I’m currently looking for a role where I can bring my "all rounder" digital toolkit to a forward thinking team and help brands build a stronger connection with their audience. When I’m not behind a screen, I’m usually staying up to date on the latest design trends or finding fresh inspiration in the world around me. I’m eager to jump in, keep learning and start making an impact!

Work Experience

Freelance Digital Designer at Self-employed
October 1, 2025 - January 1, 2025
Collaborated closely with a client to design and deliver a cohesive suite of high- mpact online posters and leaflets tailored to their brand identity. I took charge of the entire creative process from interpreting the initial brief and creating initial concepts to refining the final layouts. By balancing typography, color theory and strategic visual hierarchy, I ensured every digital asset was not only eye catching but also highly effective at communicating key marketing messages. The final deliverables successfully elevated the client's online presence, maintained strict brand consistency across all digital channels and drove stronger audience engagement.
UX designer / social media content at talking money
November 15, 2024 - May 22, 2025
During my time with the financial advice charity Talking Money, I spearheaded a data-driven approach to revamping their digital presence. Before creating any visual assets, I conducted deep dive UX and user research into their existing social media accounts to analyse audience behaviour and identify areas for higher engagement. Using these insights, I designed a brand new stream of social media content specifically tailored to optimise online interactions and simplify complex financial information for the community. Additionally, I collaborated closely with the charity’s rebranding team, contributing to the development and execution of their new visual identity to ensure a seamless, modern and consistent brand experience across all digital touch points.
