Crafting

Rooted in original ideas and hands-on making, Lauren’s crafting spans editorial, retail, and private commissions. Her portfolio includes contributions to Martha Stewart Living magazine, where she previously worked on staff and continues to collaborate on limited-edition special issues.

She designs, hand-makes, and personally delivers bespoke Halloween costumes — the kind you won’t find on Amazon — for private clients, and produces one-off visual accessories for retail campaigns with brands like Urban Outfitters.
