I'm Laura

I was a kid with a sketchbook in hand, paint on her jeans and pretty dreams in her head. Design has taken countless forms in my life and it's in pretty much everything I do. Compulsive design, if you will.

I started out as a traditional media illustrator, vowing emphatically that I could never, would never be happy behind a computer screen for life. I took a summer job as a data entry clerk after becoming disheartened by what seemed to be popular in the art world. Something high brow, intellectual and completely inaccessible for most people outside of the art community. So in my grey cubicle, I found myself searching for ways my art background could be used to help people in real life ways. I found a new world in UI/UX design and a love for front end development that merged my creativity with my need to build tangible experiences people could interact with. I've become a creative jack-of-all trades, focusing on UX/UI design, concept art, game design and anywhere else that sparks an interest.

When I'm not glued to my computer screens, you’ll find me:

• treasure-hunting in antique shops to make my 1870's farmhouse look like a witch's lair
• buying toys for my 5 year old daughter that I actually want to play with
• playing cozy farming games while my husband fights orcs beside me
• Buying seed packets online while watching Gardener's World like I'm retired and growing plants from seed, but forgetting to water them
• Bribing my chickens with treats to get them more interested in giving hugs
