Lauren Alizabeth Schell was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. She is proud of where she came from, but she is ready to start a new chapter in her life.

After graduation in May 2018, Lauren will be moving down to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue her design dreams. Lauren enjoys the illustrative side of design and would like to stick to it when it comes to finding a job in the future. Hand lettering is one thing she would love to continue pursuing and growing in. She loves all animals and always has. She is the kind of person that watches the ground when it rains so she doesn’t step on any worms. She has a slight obsession with dogs and one day hopes to combine this passion with design to change the world for dogs in need. She would like to dedicate the work she is doing to her grandmother, Cherie, because she pushed Lauren at a young age to be her little creative self. Without this push, she would probably be stuck going to a boring job that she dreads, everyday. She appreciates all the people that have made an impact on her life thus far, her family most of all.
