Born in Detroit and shaped by Chicago, her practice is rooted in purpose—challenging stereotypes, disrupting culture, and building systems of care through art and media.

Lauren is the Creative Talent Manager at Revery, leading art buying and creative community. She is also a Co-Founder of Radical Womxn, a cooperative studio for socially conscious brands and artists. She also serves on the Executive Board of The Social Impact Center, supporting policies and programs rooted in racial and economic justice, and is the Chair of Marketing for Mountain Provisions Cooperative, an emerging food and goods co-op dedicated to community resilience in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Previously, Lauren was Director of Community at Girlgaze, where she built and scaled a global platform advancing gender equity in media and advertising. She led the Girlgaze Network—a SaaS platform connecting over 12,000 emerging Gen Z and Millennial artists to paid creative work with top brands, and helped grow a social audience of over 300K.

She also served as Director of Marketing & Partnerships at LensCulture, one of the most influential platforms for contemporary photography. There, she helped support a global community of over 3 million artists, curators, and visual storytellers through international photography awards, exhibitions, publications, and festival screenings.

Lauren is deeply committed to mentorship and education, regularly leading workshops and building pathways for the next generation of creatives. Her work has been recognized by the Cannes Glass Lion, CLIO Awards, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the California State Legislature, and featured in The New York Times, LA Times, Forbes, Fast Company, AdWeek, Vogue, and more.

She splits her time between Los Angeles and the mountains of Twin Peaks, CA, where she is dedicated to cooperative economics and community-led development.
