About Lauren Peone - Creative Director and Owner

laurendesigns is owned and operated by Creative Director, Lauren Peone (formally Lauren Yenchak). Lauren is an award winning art director with over 12 years experience in the art & design field meeting ALL kinds of demands, from corporate within-the-grid work to off-the-wall graphics for our extreme sports clients. Lauren takes great pride in her formal design education which consists of a BA in Fine Art & Advertising Photography and a MA in Graphic Design. Lauren has also taught at college level while maintaining her business. From Typography I and II to Photoshop & Illustrator labs……and from freshman to seniors, Lauren Yenchak (at the time) was one of RIT’s young and vibrant adjunct professors in their School of Arts & Sciences.

laurendesigns has won all kinds of awards, from small town certificates to prestigious "Addy Awards" and multiple publications in books such as "Logo Lounge." Look for us in the two most recent issues of Logo Lounge!

Lauren’s passion lies within her layering of illustrated imagery which makes her work unique. Some designs have 100+ layers of photographs and or illustrations, one on top of the other, creating a very collaged, almost painterly look. This is what clients hire us for...our style that is fresh and eye catching. We utilize all kinds of artwork, from found objects and scanned art to vintage art and custom illustrated requests.

About our lil’ design house aka laurendesigns
(yes, that’s all lower caps, one word)~

laurendesigns is a professional creative services studio that conceptualizes, creates and executes design for all types of artistic endeavors. Because we are a smaller design house, we can offer our clients competitive pricing, with as professional and unique styling as our larger, more expensive counterparts (like those big, bad expensive ad agencies). We aren’t happy unless our client is completely satisfied, and with our extensive background in the arts, we can take our imaginations to anywhere your project needs to go….and “outside the box” is one of our favorite places!

We are a fulltime, professionally staffed design house. We work all day, every day, this is our primary job...our only job! If you're looking for one-on-one, personal service and constant communication at all hours look no further. We are an online boutique for upscale graphic and website design. We specialize in graphics for all types of creative and corporate clients. From spas to interior design, skateboard companies to cupcake bakers... we provide stylish websites, high end logo designs, beautiful brochures and booklets, deluxe business card designs, packaging, label designs and MUCH more. We have multiple "packages" that combine services to save money. Take a peek at our pricing as we are MUCH lower then our competitors and offer the same EXACT, QUALITY work!

Our knowledge of your target audience, extensive research, years of experience and award winning graphic design make for a more thoroughly thought out and highly conceptualized end product. First impressions are critical, we'll make you stand out among the masses of overused and lower budget clip art designs. Our work is original and hand rendered, from paper sketches to computer finals.
