Designer

Lauren values design that enriches communities by bringing vibrancy and educational awareness to a place. She brings a strong interest in sustainability and climate-responsive design to her work. With a background in parametrical design for digital fabrication, Lauren combines technical skills with a strong sense of composition and materiality. She has worked on commercial, transportation, and residential buildings from schematic design through construction.

Lauren holds a B.Arch from the University of Oregon and an M.S. in Architecture in Design Computing (M.S.dc) from the University of Washington. While a graduate student, she was a part of the Design Machine Group, a collaborative research group. She worked for Strata Architects and Hewitt Architects in Seattle before working on a 24’x8’ Tiny House on Wheels Prototype. While she ultimately decided not to start her own tiny homes company, Lauren intimately learned about materials, detailing, constructability, cost, as well as the inner workings of running a business.
