Lauren has been working as a commercial artist since 2000. Straight out of the Rhode Island School of Design, she joined the Creative Services Department at Hasbro toys. Eager to take a big bite out of the Big Apple, she left Hasbro for Mecca Studios in New York City. At Mecca she became lead designer and illustrator for the Baby Einstein book series. She continued to build her career in children's media as a senior designer/art director for Classic Media (an Entertainment Rights group company). In December 2007 she left Classic Media to focus on her freelance career. So far she has successfully built a diverse network of happy clients.
