About
I’m Lauren Robinette. I draw with a mouse and color with pixels. I use my visual voice to paint pictures. I am a designer, communicator, thought-provoker, and humorist. I believe continued learning drives improvement. I do what is necessary for each piece to be unique. I never forget that design is something to be enjoyed. I embrace new challenges. I am versatile. I look forward to meeting you.
