Hi, I’m Laura, a senior studying Graphic Design at the University of Lynchburg with a knack for turning ideas into visually engaging designs and memorable marketing pieces. I’ve built hands-on experience in social media content creation, branding, and creative production through roles in education, fitness, and retail, and I’m excited to bring my design sensibility and teamwork to new projects. Outside of academics, I’m passionate about crafting thoughtful user experiences, developing brand identities, and collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams to tell compelling stories online and offline. I’m eager to continue growing my skills in digital marketing, web design, and visual storytelling while delivering polished work for clients and communities.
