About Lauren

Lauren graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Interior Design. Lauren has always enjoyed working in the creative field and discovered interior design while initially pursuing a photography degree. Consequently her favorite phase of the process comes at the end when the whole design has pulled together and is pristine and new.
