About

Cross-functional creativity based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

 

Let’s bring your idea to life.

I am a writer, designer, illustrator, and photographer who specializes in capturing and conveying those heart-tugging moments. Creating beautiful work is my highest goal, and I thrive on the kinds of details that will make you and your audience go “wow,” or possibly even shed a tear—yes, that has happened before.

In 2010 I received my Bachelor of Science in industrial design at Georgia Tech, anchoring my career in design thinking and problem solving. I bring a designer’s lens to my writing, illustration, and photography, always asking questions and seeking ways to make the solution even better.

Here are some ways I’d love to support you and your big idea:

  • Writing — I have created blog posts, short- and long-form articles, social media posts, and marketing campaigns for companies and clients ranging from local orgs to media outlets with a nationwide reach. I also have experience with copy and content writing, and I am an editing fiend. Fun fact: I can spot a typo within five seconds of scanning a document.

  • Design — I utilize design thinking to help solve all sorts of problems across a variety of mediums, including web design, UI/UX, and graphic design for print and digital.

  • Illustration — I have partnered with food publications, restaurants, blogs, educational organizations, and individuals to bring their ideas to life with that hard-to-place yet undeniably magical effect of the human touch.

  • Photography — With a background in product design, I bring a designer’s eye to brand, product, and food photography. Want to highlight your menu items or restaurant space on social media? Create a print or web piece with a few gorgeous hero shots? Right this way.


About Lori

I received my art education from nature, lots of Japanese comic books, and a lifetime of practice. I also got my Bachelor of Science in product design from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.

Favorite illustrative medium(s): Line work using pencil + pen + paper is my true north, followed by watercolors and gouache. Though these days, I’m often doodling in Procreate on my iPad.

I am also a passionate advocate for mental health. When not writing, designing, running, or taking a much-deserved rest, you’ll find me reading about psychoanalytic theory as part of my studies toward becoming a licensed mental health counselor.

I am open to freelance work on a case-by-case basis! Feel free to reach out at the button above, and check out my resumé below.
