Let me 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.
Very Important Things about Lori
Where I received my art education: nature, lots of manga at a local Barnes & Noble, and a lifetime of practice. I also got my Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Most commonly doodled subject(s): Birds, flowers, and croissants.
Favorite 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.
What I’m up to when not doodling: walking my dog, baking tasty treats, sampling Seattle’s best eats and drinks, and rock hunting while chasing sunsets along the beaches of the Pacific Northwest.
Currently open for freelance work?: I am considering freelance work on a case by case basis. Feel free to reach out at the button above!
What about commissions?: Reach out and let me know what you’re thinking, and we can go from there.
