Available to hire
Hi, I’m Laura! I recently graduated with dual degrees in Graphic Design and English with a concentration in Professional Writing. I’ve gained hands-on experience creating compelling visual identities, marketing materials, and photography for a variety of organizations, from university clubs to nonprofits and small businesses. I love combining creativity with clear communication to bring brands and stories to life.
Throughout my journey, I’ve enjoyed collaborating with different teams and taking on diverse roles like shooting and editing photos, designing graphics, and writing copy. I’m passionate about making meaningful connections through visual and written expression and am excited to continue growing my skills in branding and design.
